We have our PA (pre-approval)

In our last post, I said that we were hoping to receiver our PA (pre-approval) in the next 2-4 weeks. Apparently, I was wrong. It came TODAY! I am not sure how this is even possible, but one does not question the inner workings of Chinese adoptions. The PA means that China acknowledges that the Shafer family would like to adopt Jonathan Futing.

China is now waiting on us! (never thought I would say that) We are hoping to make our trip to Harrisburg the end of this week and then our dossier (fancy adoption word for lots of paperwork) is off to the Michigan office for them to do their thing and eventually send it to China.

Please continue to pray as we have submitted 3 grant applications in the last 48 hours and are hoping to submit one more by the end of the week. We are trusting God to meet the financial needs of our adoption.
