Here she is...

Such a gift to get a picture with a smile!

Today we received our Letter of Acceptance!  Praise the Lord!  It takes some people two months and we received ours in two weeks.  We're thrilled.  Now there's lots of paperwork to be sent to the American government and then the Chinese government.  (We'll give you more specifics on the upcoming process soon.)

For now, please pray that we get to visit Emma in early May before we actually adopt her.  Some orphanages allow this kind of visit and some do not.  Our adoption agency representative is checking on this for us.  Also pray that she receives the package and letter that we will be sending her soon.  Pray she feels loved and begins to get excited about joining our family.
