Meet Eli!

Meet Eli!  We are excited to say that we have officially been matched with our new son, submitted our letter of intent and China has responded back with our pre-approval to continue the adoption process for this little boy! 

This is Eli.  He is 16 months old and will be 2 in September and we hope to have him home close to that time!  He is being cared for in the Zhengzhou City Children's Welfare Institute (ZZ CWI) which is in the Henan province of China.  This woman in the picture with him appears to be his main nanny and is in many of his photos and videos we have of him.  They seem to be quite attached and I am so thankful he has someone there loving on him and taking good care of him.  We are excited to now be able to share his pictures with everyone and would appreciate everyone's prayers as we continue on this journey to bring him home!
