I predict we will leave the second weekend of March. Yesterday our Article 5 was picked up in China and is now being sent to the CCWA (the agency that processes all adoptions in China). They will issue us a travel approval (TA) in 2-4 weeks. Well, we know it will not be 2 weeks because that is the Chinese New Year. The government is shutting down from the 9-15th then will re-open for a working weekend...so we may get our TA at the end of Feb. or beginning of March (then the US consulate schedules our appointment) and will travel 10-20 days after our TA. I am hoping the earlier! That would put us gone for Coleton's birthday, but we will celebrate before we go! Getting closer! Can't wait! But, on the positive side I will be here to get my class through their state testing and I know they will be happy about that.
Thanks for the continued prayers!

A verse made clear to us as we found out about our daughter's health: Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy. Matthew 6:19-20 Our promise to God: We will show God's love to orphans for as long as we live on this earth. Thank you for this calling.

Marci,
I have seen you around town many times, but we have never met. I clicked on your blog today because you are new to mine.. journey to Jillian. I am so excited to see that you are bringing home a sweet treasure soon! I will follow along for sure. I would love to get together with the girls sometime too as their are not a lot of Chinese kiddos in our town to fellowship with. I would be happy to help in any way you need too though you look like you have a whole lot more experience with this parenting thing than I do by looking at the pictures of your big, beautiful family. Best Wishes to you! I can't wait to see you with LuLu in town. My email is slmaster 16 at hotmail if you need anything. I have been navigating this special needs thing a couple of year now so I have some experience and soon will have more. Congratulations again!
Leslie Masterson
