One More Step Of Being Closer To Traveling!!!!!!!

Got a text today from Amanda at New Beginnings.  Every time I see her name pop up on my phone it really takes my breath away.  She will never know how excited one person me can get just seeing her name.  Her text today was. Your Dossier is in the Courts in Taiwan!!!!!!  You would have thought I had won a million dollars after I read that.  We still have a bit to go.  The average time frame once the dossier is in the courts is 1 to 6 months to we get a travel date. We are praying and believing earlier than 6 hoping by the end of the year!!!!!  But if not we are good with that because in Gods timing we will go. 
We have a new Red Adoption TShirts if you can help us out by purchasing one we would appreciate it SOooooooo much. Go to Teesprings.com/smithadoption3. Order a short or long sleeve TShirt or we have hoodies too. 
In the mean time we will be waiting on a Skype Date with our little man.  I guess so crazy excited every time I think about skyping. My kids say I will scare him with my excitement and tears of Joy ha.
Keep checking for new information on our blog as things take place.
Until then pray pray praying him home!!!!!

HOPE PRAY & WAIT

Well it's been almost 11 months since we started our journey.   Lots of exciting times, lots of paperwork times, lots of raising money times but now the most and longest time seems to be the WAITING TIME. HA  That is the time you just Hope, Pray, Hope, Pray and stay busy Hoping and Praying and that time flies.  That's where we are right now.
Our dossier has been translated and sent to the Orphanage Chung Yi in Taiwan, after 3 or 4 weeks there, it goes to the court system.  We are in our 5th week of it being in Taiwan but not sure if its at the courts or still at Chung Yi.  Once it gets to the courts it can be 1 to 6 months before our travel date is scheduled.  So we are not sure if we will have our son for Christmas or not.
We just have to keep on waiting hoping and praying, knowing that in Gods timing is when we will travel to get our little man.  I get so excited just thinking  about it!!!!!!!!
So until then please keep praying with us.  Remember James 1:27
I'll try to blog more often as things happen.  Love you guys for your Prayer
Until next time.  HOPE PRAY & WAIT
