Letter of Intent

We prepared and sent our Letter of Intent to adopt Dang Ting to the CCAA in Beijing. We are anxiously praying for PreApproval. Recently new rules are causing concerns for many potential adoptees. One requires no cancer in past five years. My brief incounter with cancer was this past March. But my doctors wrote very promising letters describing my unaffected life expectancy. Many friends are praying. And we are trusting God's plan for Ting, whatever it is.

The process begins

Dang Ting’s file arrived at IAAP in Signal Mtn, TN. (I write the name of the town because I just like the sound of it—must have a historical origin.) We’ve always heard good things about Dick and Cheryl Graham. They certainly matched their reputation while we worked with them on this adoption.

Dang Ting, now 12years old, has lived at Yangquan SWI since age one year. She is missing one eye. That’s how her orphanage summed up her life to this point. So much is missing—her likes and dislikes, her personality, her dreams and hopes.
