WE ARE ADOPTING AGAIN!!!!!!!!Today we received Pre-Approval from China to adopt my newest mei mei, Chayah Elizabeth!
For privacy, I have decided to remove the majority of this post. If you would like to know our full adoption story, please email me at bound4meimei@yahoo.com
I have started a new blog for our journey to Chayah where I will update about the paper chase and updates on her adoption. I will continue to post on this blog the same as always about Sarah Lu. You can follow Chayah's blog here:

WOW! Great news!!!! She's so beautiful!! Congratulations to you all, I can't wait to follow your journey!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you!! She is gorgeous!!! When I got your comment I raced over to your blog hoping that this was the news.
We are adopting again too!! This time a 13 year old girl that we met and probably another boy from Kolfe. Oh I can't wait!!! We have to wait 3 more months before we can redo our paperwork and stuff but then the kids should be home within 2 months Lord willing. I will be praying for Chayah to be able to come home soon!
WOW! I just finished reading your post. What an amazing miracle. We serve an awesome God!! Only He could do something like that.
WoW!!! This is all so exciting!! Oh my gosh, she is just BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love the picture of her and Sarah together....how neat!!!!! Her smile is just radiant!
CONGRATULATIONS!

YAY! She's precious. I wish so badly we could go back, but, due to Dad's age and the new requirements, we've aged out. So instead we are now terrorizing people to find children with birthmarks families. They always seem to be the last on their lists. Reese was last on her list, Ben was one of the last ones (we helped a lady nearby with 4 older children, 1 from China, convince her husband to go back to China and get him. They should leave in February), and we are now in communication with a little girl's soon-to-be family. The little girl was on Dillon's list for months!
Congrats, Staci! Have fun with your 2 mei-meis!

Congratulations to you and your family on the adoption of beautiful Chayah. What a wonderful and amazing story of God's providential hand in the adoption of both your mei mei's. I love that you even have pictures of both of them together. Can't wait to follow your trip to China.

What does Sarah think?
Sarah couldn't be anymore excited! We have been telling her that we were waiting for China to say "Yes". When we got PA, it was late at night and we were putting Sarah to bed. When we told her, she was jumping up and down saying "Let's go get her now!!!" They will be sharing a room and Sarah is already planning where Chayah's bed will go. She is absolutely thrilled with it! She knew Chayah in China and they were like sisters for 2 years, when Sarah came home, she constantly talked about Chayah Duo. Now they are actually going to be sisters and Sarah just thinks this is the best thing ever! :)

OH MY! Congratulations! What fantastic news and what an amazing journey Chayah has already taken to her family! I hope you are able to bring her home soon. We've used CCAI twice and love them!
Staci,
If you and your family are interested, I know a family that has a little girl from China with the same diagnosis as Chayah. We were all actually in the same service last year in Beijing! I have asked her if it is all right if I give you guys her e-mail and she told me YES!!! to please do and to even give you her phone number. They have been doing this for a year now and maybe they could give your family some insight as someone who has been there. There daughter is about Sarah Lu's age. Please e-mail me if you want me to get your families in contact. They are a really sweet Chritian family.

I've fallen behind in reading blogs, so when I saw this post, I was soooo surprised!!
She is adorable, and that's so great that she will be able to be part of your family. That'll be great for both her and Sarah to be from the same place, and to have known each other before!!
Congrats!! :D
