LOA for Jacob is here!!!!!

I just posted on Jacobs website but I had to post on this one as well. I am so thrilled....I just got the email from our agency that our LOA (Letter of Acceptance) has arrived. That means that China has given us the final YES that Jacob is indeed going to be coming to the USA to be our son. I am so excited I am crying right now. We are praying that we will be leaving in 6-8 weeks to meet him. Oh my...I have so much to do. We had our first garage sale this past weekend and have the next two weekends to do the same thing. We are still working on finishing up our funds to travel and obviously have a lot to do before we board a plane. Thank you God for this little boy. Thank you for trusting us to raise and care for him. We feel so blessed right now. I knew when I went to bed last night we would hear something today and haved checked the computer all day long. Literally every hour I was checking my email. I finally emailed our agency at 9:45 tonight hoping to get an reply in the morning. Our agency rep was at home checking her email and sent us a reply right back that she received it and it was already in over night mail to us. I will have it in the morning, have to sign it and get it overnighted back to her. Keep us in your prayers. We still have a lot of funds to raise over the next few weeks. Two adoptions in less then 12 months has been a financial stretch for us. But God has taken care of all of our needs and will continue to do so. I am off to bed now...Like I will really be able to sleep!!!! haha I am so thrilled. Jacobs birthday is in three weeks. I am praying for Travel orders before his birthday. What a wonderful gift for us that would be.
