We are getting closer.
We arrived home from our family camping trip yesterday to find the last document we have been waiting for sitting in our mailbox. It was a letter stating that our immigration approval had been sent to the US Consulate in China :)!!!!
What next??
Now we wait for the US consulate to issue our Article 5, that then gets sent to the Chinese Center for Adoption in Beijing, and they then issue our travel approval (TA). Once we have that we buy tickets and go. Usually you travel with the next group that is going from your adoption agency, we know America World has a group going at the beginning of July and one at the end. If we need to travel outside of those dates we will use an independant company. This is what we did for Mia's adoption. There are pros and cons to both, either is fine with me, I just want to go and get my girl. Each of these steps usually takes about 2 weeks, but they are requesting for them to be expedited so who knows.
It is all becoming very real. We will very soon be in China holding Lily. Mia is SO excited to see her sister, she is very concerned about us having baby food, diapers and bottles for her. I guess we need to go shopping.
Thanks again for all your love, support and prayers, we know it is all in God's hands, our lives are about to change again, and we can't wait.
