We'd previously (and continuously) asked you to pray that the orphanage would be willing to move forward with Bella's paperwork for adoption. They had told us they were willing to do it all, but could not guarantee when it would be done. This week when we were asking questions about when, the answer was maybe not until the end of the year. Until today...
This morning at about 11 am we got a call that they were putting together her paperwork for adoption. They had some questions for us. "What's her personality like?" "What does she like to play with?" "When does she sleep/eat?" All these go into a report that has to go through the Chinese government, but eventually gets to the adoptive parents, that is back to us. :) But it all must be done.
Including another physical. Tomorrow we will go back to the same hospital we had to go to about a month ago and go through roughly the same things, and a few more. Last month was just a check-up, this month it's a check-up for adoption. Apparently, they are different. Tomorrow morning will not be easy. The hospital has people everywhere, lots of waiting and lots of sick and crying children. Thankfully a nurse from the orphanage will guide us through the whole thing. We just have to take Bella where they tell us and try to keep her relatively content.
We also need our adoption agency to quickly and clearly explain to the orphanage how to write letters of recommendation for us to adopt her. This is a pivotal component of our adoption of Bella. If not done correctly she could be matched with another family for adoption.
We need your continued prayers. And we'd love you to thank God with us for answering clearly and quickly.
