Wiehl Family Adoption: October 2012
http://wiehloffaith.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Shop For A Cause. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. In the meantime, we'll be sending her a care package that includes a photo album filled with photos of us and her new home, a letter to her and also a few small gifts. Emotionally, I'm getting a little tired of worrying about money. So much of our time is spent trying to come up with new ideas for fundraising. I am willing to do almost anything that pays, so if anyone has ideas for ways to earn money I am all ears. Links to this post. Sunday, October 28, 2012.

Wiehl Family Adoption: February 2013
http://wiehloffaith.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Shop For A Cause. Sunday, February 24, 2013. Ben's Party and a Lily Update! I almost feel guilty saying this because I know not everyone experiences this, but as it turns out, we fell in love with her immediately. We LOVE this child so much. You know that love you feel when you give birth? That is how we both feel about Lily. There is no faking it. We don't feel like her babysitters, it does not feel like she doesn't belong or that she is "new." She's ours. There is no question about it. However, even wi...

Wiehl Family Adoption: September 2012
http://wiehloffaith.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Shop For A Cause. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Lots of Big News! My first bit of big news is that yesterday we received our Letter Seeking Confirmation, aka LSC or LOA! This is China's official approval to adopt Lily! We can now move on to the final steps of completing the adoption process. For those of you who have not adopted from China, this is a big deal! We can probably still travel this year, but it will be most likely the end of December and that is only if the remaining steps happen quickly enough.

Shop For A Cause. Monday, December 31, 2012. We will meet our daughter in 21 days. As long as it has taken us to get to this point, I feel like we are on a high speed train to China right now.

Wiehl Family Adoption: November 2012
http://wiehloffaith.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Shop For A Cause. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. 6 weeks til Lily Day? I am so happy to say that things seem to be moving along at a more normal pace! Of course, if you have been following our journey you know that nothing has really gone according to averages for us, so I hesitate to put too much weight on average timelines for China adoptions. And just because she is so adorable, here is another photo from our update last month. Links to this post. Saturday, November 17, 2012. While we wait for TA (trav...
