For starters our grandson "Greyson" was born October 20th, 2012. And that was a wonderful time but also a very hard time for me. The reason being is Sholey has been SOOOOO attached to me it was hard for me to leave Sholey in the waiting room while I went to check on Ash and be there for her. It was hard on me to really enjoy the birth of my first grandson and being with my daugther Ashley during this time, but we made it through and Ashley had to end up having a c-section. Here are some pictures I want to share…</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know you my not understand the title, but for us this is GREAT news! Let me explain; our documents (I-800) are in China and now at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou and our Article 5 will be issued and picked up on 7/11/12. It will then be couriered to CCCWA and we will await the issuance of our travel invitation. This has generally taken 2-3 weeks. We are getting closer to meeting our daughter!</span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09783928159246452539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323639174118033541.post-29289933639641391982012-06-23T10:02:00.000-05:002012-06-23T10:23:24.168-05:00Sholey is definitely a WOOLVERTON<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In our referral papers it describes her personality... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is strong, active and restless <i>(oh my, I'm gonna lose some weight). </i>Sholey is affectionate loves to be held and hugged (<i>this is so wonderful cause our whole family loves to hug and so do we). </i>Sholey is energetic and gets impatient sometimes...lol, I cracked up when I read this and thought; "boy does she already sound like a Woolverton". </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sholey also gets along with others well and has a ready smile (that is what they say). She is fond of playing with others and toys and her favorite toy is dolls. She is a moderate sleeper and eats well, Sholey's favorite drink is milk. The foods she eats are porridge, minced meat, egg, food made of wheat, vegetable juice, milk, juices and soups. She has 4 meals a day. We can't wait to get her HOME and see how she will like American food and introduce her to some great fruits~</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to also share how I can't imagine how hard or what was going through her mother's mind and heart the moment she place her on the grass at the Labour bureau in the city of Dongguan on October 5, 2010. My heart aches for this mother, but my heart is joyful that God chose William and I to have the privilege of loving, caring and raising this beautiful little girl. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I imagine now that her hair has grown and she is walking and running around. I am so ready to go and hold her in my arms and tell her how much she is loved. I am so ready for our whole family to see her and for her to feel and know how much God loves her. </span></div>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09783928159246452539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323639174118033541.post-19186763424939588112012-06-23T09:14:00.000-05:002012-06-23T09:14:21.131-05:00More SHOTS...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OH my the TYPHOID vaccine has left me hurting. William and I had to go and get the typhoid shot Thursday just another added precaution for our trip (prevent us from bacteria called Salmonella Typhi from contaminated food or water) Typhoid Fever. I never knew a shot could hurt so much afterwards, but oh my goodness I could hardly move my arm and no one was gonna get close enough to touch it either~ But all this and more is worth every hurt, pain, high, low, waiting and discomfort. We would do it all over again for Sholey if we had to. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also have our Malaria medicine, an antibiotic and Phenergan, along with all the over the counter medicine we might need~ Thanks to our family doctor I think we are prepared~</span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09783928159246452539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323639174118033541.post-24794339143428812722012-06-18T20:49:00.000-05:002012-06-18T20:49:43.715-05:00Care Package...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to share some dates and what all has taken place in our adoption and in-between, so here we go...</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4/16/12 at 9:06pm we received a call of our referral of our little Sholey Joy and then we had to wait to post any pictures or information about her until we received word of our "LOA" (letter of acceptance). </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4/20/12 Pre-approval </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4/30/12 we received our "LOA" and on 5/1 we shared (on our blog) a beautiful picture of our little girl God had chosen for us.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/2/12 we had a little mess up on the Letter of Acceptance and we had to have China make a correction and mail it back so we could send our I-800 to the USCIS.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/8/12 had one of our bathrooms re-painted and finished </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/10/12 we received our revised "LOA" and now ready for the I-800 forms, William and I stayed up until 1:30am filling out the form.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/11/12 sent off our I-800 with FedEx </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/14/12 went to doctor to start our Hepatitis A & B shots</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/15/12 called to make sure travel agency received our pre-paperwork and we finished Sholey's room</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/17/12 we received our visas and had our daughter (Ashley's) Reveal Party and found out the gender of our grand-baby</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/18/12 Kelly, our pastors daughters wedding (it was so beautiful and so much fun)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/19/12 our daughter Ashley and Bethany (Colby's fiancé) both had their graduation at the same place and the same time. (this was a blessing)</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/20/12 Colby and Bethany had wedding shower, Bethany's church gave them</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/21/12 Sholey received her care package we had sent her </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5/31/12 we received a letter about our I-800 Request for Evidence (mistake) and got together the paperwork needed and got it in the mail the next day for them to be able to finish it (they received it on 6/4/12 by 8am</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6/9/12 received our approval for I-800, Ashley hosted a wedding shower for her brother at our house, had about 31 people at our home, it was a lot of fun</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6/13/12 finished the last part of the paperwork for the I-800 provisional approval and emailed the NVC (national visa center) to make sure they had our visa petition and they had received it and it's in their system and assigned a case number (this is GOOD). Now the case has to be forwarded to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are WAITING now for our NVC letter to send to our agency and then off for the appointment to be set for us to make our Travel Plans~ (this can not come soon enough for us, but in fear that it may conflict with our son (Colby's) wedding) God is in control and knows all that needs to be, so I trust HIM in what He provides. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are so excited and very proud to introduce you to our Sholey Joy Woolverton. God has chosen this little girl for us, and us for her~ How blessed, honored </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and very thankful to the Lord for this precious little girl. Our hearts are so overwhelmed with emotion and we can not wait to go get her and bring her HOME~</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is official that Sholey Joy is ours! Yesterday, Monday, April 30th we received the best news...we received our "LOA" (letter of acceptance), which gives us all rights to share her photos and anything else we chose to share about her. I will share that her cleft lip has been repaired, but her palate has not. We will have that done once we get home and adjusted. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Today, May 1st we received our overnight UPS package from China/Bethany Christian Services with our Post Referral Travel Packet. We now apply for our travel visas, along with completing our I-800 documents to the USCIS and then we can bring Sholey Joy home. </span></div>

I sit back and think about the day when we will have Sholey and she will be running and playing around in the backyard and I'll be sharing with her "that all this beauty, especially her, God has made"! I can't wait to share with her about Jesus and how much He loves her. Oh how she's gonna love it here~</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We still wait with JOY in our hearts for the day we get a referral of our "Sholey Joy", but the news this time around was a little different (which took place this past Monday the 19th). We did not get an email just saying "NO MATCH", we received a email explaining that they (Bethany Christian Service & other U.S. Agency's) were having technical difficulties signing into the CCCWA website to do the matching. The CCCWA was even saying they were having problems too and would extend the band-with next go round. So with all this said we did not get a match, but not because Sholey wasn't on the list. Now, we wait with great expectations for April and pray, pray, pray that this will be the month we will be able to meet our little girl. </span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09783928159246452539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323639174118033541.post-32183635798241408202012-03-05T21:43:00.000-06:002012-03-05T21:43:55.092-06:00Monday, March 5th<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm so excited!

We have had a Valentine's we will never forget...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Our hearts are filled with so much love and we are so thankful to God for allowing us to be so blessed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Life is gonna be so different for all of our family. First we are still waiting on a referral of our "Sholey Joy" which could come Monday, February 27th (we are praying that it will), we have had a great-nephew turn 1, and our son (Colby) had his Senior day at his last basketball game (on home court) at his college, Colby is also getting married in August, our adoption agency called us on Valentine's Day and wanted to know if we would be interim adoptive parents for three days to a 15 day old little baby boy (we of course said YES and oh what joy this was), and last but surely not least our daughter (Ashley and her husband Shane) told us we are gonna be GRANDPARENTS come this October!!! Oh how EXCITED we are. Here are some pictures to share the joy: </span><br />
