This blog started during the process of adopting our daughter, Camellia, from China. The title comes from many, many months of selling Pandora-style bracelets to help fund her adoption. Camellia came home just before Thanksgiving, on November 18th of 2012. We are now using this site to keep our supporters updated on Camellia's progress, as well as sharing updates on our older three children, Jack, Ian, and Chloe. God has richly blessed our family, and we invite you to look through this window into our lives.

We got a call from our adoption agency last night.  Our Letter of Seeking Confirmation was received by the agency.  This should have taken 2-3 months, and it took 3, so things are on schedule.  Our case worker told Dale to anticipate travel in November.  Of course, there are still many timelines we have to work through before travel, but we are anxiously waiting for November.  It's hard to believe we're getting this close; we just can't wait to meet our daughter.

As far as the Letter of Seeking Confirmation, we're not exactly sure what it is.  We think it's China's official approval of our family to bring this specific little girl home, but we're not positive.  We should be receiving a packet of paperwork this weekend so we can start working through it.  It sounds like some overwhelming stuff, so we'll try to get through one document at a time.

In order to raise the $4,000 we need for our matching grant from Brittany's Hope, we are having a fundraiser event.  It will be a fantastic evening with dinner catered by Guy's Party Center in Akron, a strings concert by Heartstrings (a group of strings players from The Chapel), and a performance by Chinese acrobats / dancers.  It will be a family-oriented event, so yes, kids are welcome.  Please join the fun and help us reach our goal.  Ticket sales can be found through http://limburgadoption.eventbrite.com/.
