Anthony spoke to our agency today and they said our Ta is in the air!!!! We should have it tomorrow or Friday. They have a group leaving on March 12th, we will be included in that group!!!! If everything goes as planned, we will leave the 12th and return on the 26th! We are beyond excited!

Remember, this is the site we will use while we are in China!

Still waiting for travel approval!!

I don't know how much longer I can wait on travel approval!! My agency has said we could leave at anytime in March with us hoping it is around the first of the month. I have spent this past week finalizing last minute paperwork for our agency and getting everything ready to travel.
There has been many people with our same LOA that are receiving their travel approval this week...... I'm sure ours will come Monday or Tuesday!!!!!!!! Please say a little prayer!

Waiting for TA!!!

Audrey's SWI

We are currently waiting for our Ta (travel approval) to arrive at our agency. Once our agency has this in hand, they can make our consulate appt. and we'll be on our way to our daughter. We are very excited for this final paper to come.

Starting to lay out a few of Audrey's clothes!!!

I have officially started to get some of Audrey's clothes together on the bed. I don't want to take to much, just very comfortable things for her to wear. I have also picked out some toys to take. I am really not sure exactly what to pack as far as toys go, so if anyone has any suggestions....PLEASE let me know.



My baggie!!


A few Anthony added!

Ok, so I got together some meds I thought we could take and I put them in a baggie. Simple enough.... Most of you know my husband works in the "medical field" right? Well, last week we made a trip to Walgreen’s so he could add "a couple" of must have medications. I think I can dose the whole orphanage with this stuff, oh and of course we have our prescriptions from our doctors we will take too. I guess I feel better about us (not ever) getting sick.
