Great News!!!

It is with great joy we announce that the People's Republic of China has approved us to adopt one of their children... our new son!

So without further ado, we introduce to all of you...




Asher Fupeng


age 7, currently waiting for us in Dandong, China


Pictures were taken in (estimated) August 2004
(HOPEFULLY.. we'll have new ones soon!)

In other words, WE GOT OUR PA!!! Or, Pre-Approval from China allowing us to adopt Asher. What does this mean? Well.. not all that much, just that we KNOW he's ours now! We're still waiting for a few more of our documents to arrive and our approval from INS. Hopefully, our paperwork will all be sent to China within the next month and then we'll wait from there. It's been a long wait especially since our Letter of Intent (LOI) to adopt him went to China on December 1st! But, despite the long wait ahead of us we are thrilled and can't wait to bring him home!!!!
