We received our Preliminary Approval today!! This is our little Ava! She is 3 years old and waiting for us in Jiangxi, China. Believe me, we won't be able to get to her fast enough! The official count starts now!! It normally takes about 90 days to receive the official Letter of Acceptance (LOA) and after that about 2 1/2 months before we would travel. So our best guess would be around Thanksgiving!
This is the meaning of her name:
Ava------- Hebrew meaning: life, Latin meaning: bird. German meaning: desired
Michelle----Hebrew meaning: who is like God? (and of course MY name!)
LeHai------This is her Chinese name. Le (lay) means joy, happiness. Hai (hi) means of the sea
We are so thankful to God for letting us find our sweet little girl! Words can't express our feelings right now.
I have more details about her that I will post another day! Please pray that God keeps her safe until we can get to her.
WOW that was a fast match!! You must be working with a great agency ;)
