Just wanted to send an update and say thanks for everyone's support.  Every donation is a huge help and we're humbled by your willingness to help.

We have submitted most of our Home Study paperwork and had our first in home meeting with our case worker.  We have three more to go and quite a few hours of training videos and are reading "The Connected Child" that we'll have to submit a report on for credit towards our training.  Luckily, about a third of our training will be filled by the connected child 2 day conference that we attended.  We learned about Trust Based Relational Interference (TBRI) which discussed a lot about caring for children that have undergone trauma as many children in institutionalized care have been through.

I'm excited to get to the end of our Home Study and begin our Dossier process with the China Team in Michigan.  My thoughts are often filled with our son sitting in a care center somewhere in China.  We are praying that he has enough food, protection, and love until we're able to be joined as a family.
