The biggest thing about adoption is getting a child. The second biggest thing is probably the money it takes to do it. The money in the picture is the first $33 we saved for our baby. This was the start of all of it. So when we bring her home we can look back and see these are the first bills we put away for her. Currently we have enough for the application fee. The plan is to save the first two payments and the home study and then we will get started with everything.
We have decided to use CCAI (http://ccaifamily.org/) as our agency. CCAI is one of the largest agency's to work with China on adoptions. To date they have assisted in over 11,000 adoptions! The other night Sara and I listened in on a call with Sarah Harmon and Rev. Josh Zhong. Sarah works with the waiting child program(http://ccaifamily.org/WaitingChild/Default.aspx) and Rev. Zhong is the co-founder and president of CCAI. How awesome is it that we spoke with the guy who started it all? They were very friendly and helpful on the call and really helped us know that this was the agency for us. The most exciting part of all that has happened recently is that I can see it all coming together over the horizon. Some of the obstacles we thought we were going to have are not looking so tough now. God is doing some amazing things in this. May He be glorified forever!
"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."
2 Corinthians 3:18.
我們已經決定使用CCAI（http://ccaifamily.org/）作為我們的代理。 CCAI是國內最大的代理公司與中國收養上的工作之一。到目前為止，他們已經協助超過11,000收養！那天晚上Sara和我聽在與薩拉哈蒙和喬希牧師鐘的電話。莎拉的工作原理與等待子程序（http://ccaifamily.org/WaitingChild/Default.aspx）和啟鐘是聯合創始人CCAI總裁。如何真棒是什麼讓我們採訪了誰開始這一切的傢伙？他們都非常友好和幫助的呼叫，並真正幫助我們知道，這是該機構為美國。最近都已經發生的最精彩的部分是，我可以看到這一切在地平線上走到一起。一些障礙，我們認為我們將有不看那麼強硬了。上帝在做這一些驚人的事情。可他得榮耀永遠！
“我們都敞著臉，得以看見主的榮光，正在轉化為相同的圖像從輝煌到另外的一個程度。對於這個來自主誰是精神。”
哥林多後書3:18
