Update on our Baby Girl

So the adoption has been progressing nicely. We finished the homestudy portion of our adoption and moved on the dossier, which is a process that takes 2-3 months, hopefully. We sent all our paperwork to the State of California so that they can validate that the notary we used for all our documents is an official notary. Once we get all our documents back, which sending them everywhere is nerve wracking because they are all originals!!, we send them to the Chinese consulate, They are then ready to send to China along with our immigration paperwork, which is the last piece of the puzzle. We have already filed for it, and they received it May 11th! ;-)
Eli has been talking about Bella almost every day, which is very endearing to my heart. If the boys are done with a piece of clothing or a book because it is too small for them, he turns to me and says, "Save it, momma!! I know Bella will LOVE it!" He's excited for her to arrive, and every time I am on the computer and he sees a child's face that he doesn't recognize, he says, "Momma, are you searching for Bella." I wish it were that simple, sweet boy. Max is fine with the idea of expanding our family but is adamant that we should consider adopting a boy. He is very happy with his brother and would like another. ;-) We probably will send the dossier to China in early August and then will wait for a match, which could take anywhere from a few weeks to 9 months!!
Thanks for your prayers.
