Our sweet baby girl was mentioned again today on the No Hands But Ours website.
They (like us) are advocating for her! So thankful to them for spotlighting these kids and the families that are working to bring them home!
Check out Hope and the other 3 kids mentioned in this article!

Oh yeah!
Oh, baby!
We received our log in date on Friday, March 13th!!! Praise God for His blessings!
Now....we are on the wait for LOA - letter of acceptance.
Since we are trying to expedite Hope's adoption this could come very soon. Very, very soon!
Adam will travel by himself again (like with Lucy's adoption) to bring Hope home! So, once we get our LOA....he could be traveling in just a few weeks!
Please continue to pray for a quick and smooth adoption, a fully funded adoption and a wonderful transition for Hope!
Thanks guys!

UPDATE!!!
We've been asking (and our agency has been asking) for an update on Hope. Well, yesterday....we got an answer to prayer!
I had provided a list of 10 questions to see if we could get some news!
Here's what I received late last night!
1. Is she walking by herself? She is not walking by herself, she’s walking with walker now.
2. Any big illnesses since her episode in May 2014? Since she had cerebral embolism on May 31, 2014, she’s not had big illness except colds.
3. Can she swallow food? Yes, she is able to swallow food now.
4. What can she eat? Zhang Wen Meng is eating noodle, soft rice, along with various vegetable and meat balls.
5. Has she received our 2 care packages? Yes, got two care packages.
6. Are they preparing her for her new family? Yes, since we received family pictures, we’ve been showing her the pictures every day, telling her these are her family members, her daddy, mommy, big brother(s) and big sister(s).
7. Does she drink from bottle? Cup? Use straw? She is drinking from bottle, and we are training her use cup now.
8. What toys does she like? Play with? She likes toys can make sound and dolls. She likes adults to play with her, interact with her.
9. Can she sit up by herself? Yes, she can.
10. Is she still receiving therapy? She’s been receiving therapy always. She can walk for about half an hour with walker now. She can say Baba, Mama, Ah, Dan Dan, etc.
Her updated measurements:
Height: 84cm; Weight: 10.5kg; Head: 50cm; Chest:50cm; Teeth: 20; Foot: 12.5cm.
Can you STAND it??? I can't!!! So grateful learn a little more about our girl! I know God is with her and has great things in store!
" For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

God's miracle...our Hope
We know very little about Hope. Very little.
Pretty much all we know...we got from these 2 articles... http://www.nohandsbutours.com/2014/09/29/hydrocephalus-baby-hope/ and here http://www.nohandsbutours.com/2014/11/08/day-8-hope/
After reading those stories about Hope....God moved in our hearts. He told us that we were to step forward and give this little one a home. We have love, space, time, willing hearts.
People ask me all the time..."are you crazy?" "why would you do this?"
Well, I suppose my best answer is..."why not?" God has blessed me beyond what I deserve...why not help someone else? Why not share my love and God's love with a little orphan girl on the other side of the world?
Hope will have a family that loves her, she will learn about Jesus, she will have medical care, she will be cherished!
Hope had her "stroke like event" last May. This is a video of her from November....post stroke. My girl is fighting back! She is working on regaining her gross motor skills, talking, etc. My girl is determined!!!
Check her out!!! Click on the link below and use the password: hope
https://vimeo.com/111010657
Amazing. She is so loved!
Help us get her home! You can visit Hope's page at Reece's Rainbow to make a tax-deductible donation!!! http://reecesrainbow.org/87844/sponsorfarley-2

flying colors *update!
*Our dossier is on it's way to China! DTC BABY!!! Next we wait for our LID - log in date!
I received an email today from our adoption agency. Our dossier has made it through "critical review" with flying colors and has been sent to the "translation department"!
Once it is translated...that booger is shipped to China...express mail! Then it is "logged in" into their system and then we receive our LID (log in date)!
I won't go on and on about the next steps....we will walk through those steps together. One at a time. So today we celebrate making it through critical review and await news that we are DTC (dossier to China).
Thanks guys for trekking along with us! And please keep those prayers coming! Woo whoo! Praising God today for another step forward!
Hope...you will be home soon baby girl!
