New updates...

So I called the agency to lock the file on our daughter (that is like a RSVP they put on the child so that no one else can take her).   The very nice agency rep told me that they don't handle famlies in CA, but they had an agency they work with in CO that could help us.   She then told me that they had a $2500 grant on her, and the one in CO had a $3000 grant and we could keep both for her adoption!    We have submitted the paperwork and our file is on the way to China for pre-approval.   So exciting!
    
Focus on the Family had a special speaker recently, a woman who went blind in her early 30's.   She had a great sense of humor and was very engaging to listen to.   The only time that she got choked up was at the end, when she talked about her family, and how she couldn't have done what she had done without their support.   I hope that we can be that support for our daughter.

 I wasn't sure if I should write a blog about everything that has happened or not.   However, Pastor David Jeremiah (Shadow Mtn) was on the radio the other morning talking about the story of Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar; and he said that even Nebuchadnezzar wrote down the things that happened with God.   He said "People ask me if they should write down what God is doing in their lives, and I say, 'YES, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!"    And so that's how this blog got started.   :)
