About Me

My name is Tracy and I am married to an amazing man, his name is Thomas! We are a busy family that is always on the go between church, school, work and sports.... we are not a sitting around kind of family. We have 4 amazing children and are working on bringing home Elias to make 5. My hubby is Deaf and I am a sign language interpreter,we are very involved in the Deaf community and are excited to be adding another Deaf member to our family. Our kids, Aaron-19, Luke-11, Tommy-10 and Paige-5 are anxious for their new brother to be home. This is our second adoption and we are learning more everyday to lean on God, this journey is already strengthening our faith! We are working on learning how to turn everything over to God and know that He has a perfect plan and all will happen in His time! Good things come to those who wait.

YAHOOOO! One step closer!

Well the day I have been waiting for since March 25th finally arrived. Tomorrow morning our I-800A application goes out overnight by Fed ex to process that application and bring us one step closer to getting our dossier turned in. Our paperwork is due in China July 22nd, but that isnt going to happen as our Homestudy agency finished our last Homestudy visit on May 25th and finally just got us our finalized Homestudy report Friday, July 16th whew that is a long time for them to finish it. Especially when they sent me a draft to correct on June 10th and I sent the corrections back the next day. Well water under the bridge and we are moving on and taking one step closer to bringing our son home! We are so excited we just cant wait! Wishing our I-800A a speedy processing and praying we can go in early for our fingerprints as we are applying for an extension for our dossier but this process has to speed up at this point. Praying for our son to be home before Christmas. What an amazing gift for God to bestow upon us! Waiting to see your sweet face Luke Xin Hai!
