Update!

Wow! What a busy couple of months it has been. Summer is so much fun! Brandon is playing T-Ball for the first time and he is really enjoying it. I think Todd is enjoying it every bit as much as Brandon is! Carson turned 3 in May and he is finally old enough to take swim lessons. He is taking them at the Community Center in Hopewell and I don't really think he is too happy about it. He cries and tries to cling to the instructor every time it's his turn to be in the water but he continues to go back every day without much fuss. He is my little trooper!

On the adoption topic, we have had yet another glitch in the process. The agency we are using for the China leg of our adoption lost our paperwork last month. They were supposed to have sent it out to China last month for preapproval due to my cancer history and if they had done it when they were supposed to, we would know by now whether or not China will make us wait another couple of years to adopt from their country. They were, as you can imagine, VERY apologetic for the mistake and vowed to have the documents translated into Chinese and sent to China yesterday. We should know China's verdict in about 2-3 weeks. So, PLEASE keep praying for us!

While we are discussing prayer, there is a baby in China right now who we are feeling led to pray for. Her name is Lin. She was left behind by a family recently who changed their mind about adopting her once they got to China. We don't know the full story, obviously, but what we do know is that this baby needs prayer. She is sick, though not severely by US medical standards, and they have pledged to take care of her until she is healthy and then put her back in the "adoption pool" at a later time, but we still feel led to pray for her. I am receiving periodic updates on her and I will post any new information I get about her here.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued prayers!
