I was speaking with my China case worker yesterday and she informed me (much to my delight) that Chen Chen is absolutely ours!!!! I didn't know I could claim him! All along he should have been removed from the 'available' list of waiting children, but somehow he wasn't! Thank God I asked the questions that I did! I never would have known it! I have been busy, busy, busy trying to quickly fill out papers and make many phone calls! She said the normal wait time is up to 12 months, but as long as my home study cooperates and moves quickly, it will be much sooner to receive him!
My kids are so excited! Nicholas asks me everyday when I will 'get' Chen Chen. Alex and Ava are actively practicing their finger spelling, which really warms my heart. So far Ron can do A, B and C. LOL!!!! Baby steps, right??
The raffle tickets are moving too! Many thanks to every one who is actively trying to sell them! All of them are out there in the midst. Hopefully, they will all be sold. If that happens, the next fees are taken care of!
Please pray that the paperwork trail moves along swiftly without complications! Thank you for everything!!!! Praise God we got this far!!!!
Love to all!!!!

Awesome News! I know you are so excited! Prayers are in the air for you and also for good weather for your sale this Saturday.
Hi Shannon! I'm so mad at myself; I got behind on following your blog entries. I am now officially "following" your blog, so I don't think I'll get behind again. Feelings of delight, excitement, and joy are overflowing in my heart right now for you and your family. Chen Chen is yours! Congratulations. I knew in my heart that everything would work out just fine for you all. I would truly LOVE to meet you, your husband, and children. I want to offer a personal "congrats" to you. I'd love to stop by the yard sale if that would be at all possible. Let me know if you get a chance (amidst your excitement and paperwork)! Congratulations to you once again.
Yes, Yes, Yes!! We are spot number 51. I would LOVE to see you!!!
I am soooo ecstatic AND scared! We are waiting on pre-approval from China as we speak!! My case worker, who is from China, doesn't foresee a problem, so YAY!
Hope to see you!! And you too, Harry!
