Elliot has decided that we should change Owen's name to Finn McMissile. At first we all got a nice laugh out of it. He was very serious about the name. But after calling "him" Finn for a few days now, I am starting to like it. OK, I may not calling him Finn McMissile, but I do like Finn.
What is it with my kids and names. Many of you may remember that Ansley was dead set on naming Elliot, Charmin Hinkle, (good thing he was not a girl). Iris got off easy, however, she has somehow become "Pork chop"
So should we go with Finn or stick with Owen? If we use Finn, we need help with a middle name. Owen's current name is Yong Chen. They most likely call him Chen Chen. We obviously can't call him Finn Chen Chambers. So maybe McMissle isn't so bad. Any thoughts?

YES!
Finally, We have our LOA! I can't even type this fast enough. GOD is so good, he provides even when we don't deserve it. (sorry about that little rant you received.)
Stay posted folks this one is going to be a nail bitter. How will it all play out? Will the Chambers prevail and travel before the end of the year
Or
Will we get stalled at every turn and miss or end of the year deadline?
We welcome any and all prayers for a speedy travel approval.

Getting Closer
We are anxiously waiting for our LOA. Just a few months ago we thought we could travel in October and now we are praying to travel this year. All prayers are welcomed as it is very important that we travel before December 31. As we get closer the more anxious we are to bring this little person into our family.
Our finances took a big hit as we recently learned our foundation needed major repairs. This past week we had the work done (to lift our house back up!) and this drained our savings.
So, we started a fundraiser today to try to offset the cost of our travels during the holiday season. If all plays out as we hope we will be traveling around Christmas. As you can imagine plane tickets are ridiculously high during this time. See the fundraiser banner to the right and select a t-shirt. Please spread the word to anyone you know that may be willing to help and spread the word for adoption.
