Friday was an exciting day for us because ALL of our documents finally came in from the Secretary of State signed and sealed! All together we have 14 documents. Eleven were sealed by West Virginia's Secretary of State, one by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and two by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Now they are READY to send to Hilary Clinton, for her seal and to The Embassy of Ch*na for Authentication.
This is 6 months of HARD work, a lot of waiting and God moving mountains to get us these forms! We've hit many roadblocks, had many wrenches thrown in, but God has been there EVERY step of the way moving those mountains and throwing those wrenches out! He has not let anything stand in our way of bringing our daughter home! We give all the glory and praise to Him for everything that has been done to get us to this point in our adoption.
Today we overnighted these documents to our courier in DC. We found out that 5 of them are on the verge of expiring soon. We have no choice but to expedite them! But that is okay we will do whatever we must to get Meiya home! Nothing will stand in our way!
While we were standing at the counter in the post office today handing those precious documents over to the postal worker I heard a song playing in the background. This song brought tears to my eyes and it took everything in me to keep myself from bawling like a baby. The song is "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. If you've never heard this song please click the play button below and listen to the words or read along.
The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful!
According to our courier we should have all 14 of our documents back to us in less than 2 weeks. After we get them back we will send them to our agency and they will send them to Ch*na!
