WE HAVE OUR TRAVEL APPROVAL

We received the long awaited call Thursday. Our Travel Approval has came. Our agency has requested a Sept. 27th consulate appointment and that would put us traveling next Sat. the 15th. Months and months of waiting and waiting and when it comes time it doesn't seem real. I would like to get excited about leaving next Saturday but there has been other families that requested the same consulate appointment and there agency said it was a no go. SOOOOOOOOO hear I sit again waiting on the US consulate to decide weather we travel Sat. or not. I should know something Monday morning. I sure have my fingers crossed. If we don't get our appointment on the 27th I am not sure when we will be able to travel. Oct. is a bad month for adoptions in China. (of course).

The picture of Addison is from some people that went to China in July to work at the orphanage . This family that is adopting a child from our agency knows these people and sent me there web-site and BINGO there were all kinds of pictures of Addison and other children in the orphanage. It just makes me want to get there even more. The other picture is a letter that I had sent to Addison with a lady bug bracelet. The lady that translates these letters and sends them for people also calls the orphanages and checks to make sure they received them. Ann is her name and she lives in Guangzhou. She called the orphanage and talked to the director about Addison. The director told her that Addison had received all the the stuff that we have sent her and she loved them. They also told her that Addison was very happy about being adopted and was anxious to meet us. Well, we are anxious to see her also, so come on US consulate let us go next Sat.
