We have equated the last 9 months of our lives with the period of time that the couple does all the right things (not that we've been doing the wrong things) to have a child. You wait, you hope....are we pregnant? Then there's that bridge of time when you're unsure that it took. That's where we are now in this adoption scheme of things. We have just reviewed our dossier with our case worker and everything's in order (even the last document which we received today.) The whole pack of papers is ready to be sent off to our agency's home office in Grand Rapids, Michigan where it is re-read and then sent to China for translation. When the package is received in China, it is given a registry date and then the 9 - 11 month waiting period starts.
During that period, postings will probably consist of articles we've come across and pleas for prayer for patience and anxiety relief. This will probably be a most difficult time, so if you have been keeping up with the Schafhausers via this blog, please leave us a response to this post and tell us you'll be praying for us and have us in your thoughts. We'll read them frequently and get strength from them. Thank you for sticking with us.........let the pregnancy begin.......Don & Be

Don and Be,
We'll be praying for you guys. We are so excited to see how your "life in reverse" is going to unfold.
And of course, Chinese kids are the cutest . . .
Lotsa love,
