Christmas Eve wish granted......

The fingerprint approval that we have been waiting for since October, arrived today on Christmas Eve!!! I quickly faxed (twice-just to make sure) to our Bethany Social Worker, for her to notify the "China team" we are ready and waiting for an "official" travel date, and US/China Consulate appointment at the Embassy. Hopefully will know something within the next 2 weeks, and hoping to still be on that plane in January....God is good :)

Looking forward to 2010...

Well, we are still waiting for our final travel approval(TA) to travel to China. Obviously, we will not have Anna this year for Christmas, and we are very disappointed about that. A part of us will be empty this Christmas, but we hope that will soon be filled in the coming months with joy as we hold our Anna for the first time. We know that 2010 is going to be a very special year for our family. We look forward to many Christmas's with Anna, and especially next year, her very first one in our 'forever family'.

We are hoping:

1) we get our fingerprint approval back this week, or VERY soon, so we can travel on JAN 14th. It has NEVER taken this long the other 2 times, and now that we are ready to go-we are waiting on this one document.

2) Jan 14th is the next group traveling to China, and we desperately want to be on that PLANE!!!!

3) If we don't travel in January, we have to travel in February, because one of our documents expires in March.

Will keep you posted as soon as we find out!
