Travel Approval is HERE!!!!

On December 21st, my dad's birthday, we got the phone call at 12:30pm from AAC. Erin told us she had a great Christmas present for us! We have travel approval! Because of the Christmas holiday on Tuesday we have to wait till Wednesday or Thursday until we know the exact dates we will leave but they are trying to get us out on January 4th or January 11th! We are so excited! I will post more when we find out the exact dates! Please be in prayer with us that the Lord will be with us the entire journey and go before us and prepare a wonderful, smooth flights, car rides, bonding experience and just overall great trip!

Article 5 pickup!

Our article 5 was picked up from the Chinese consulate on December 5th! It was sent to CCCWA and we now await the Travel Approval phone call. It's supposed to come 2 weeks after the pickup of our travel approval. Then after we get the call we have to make our appointment with the Chinese consulate and once that is confirmed we can make our flight arrangements! The Lord has guided us daily through this journey and I know he will be faithful to guide us throughout travel. Zoe was moved out of the orphanage and put into a foster home to give her more one on one attention until we can get to her. My mom will be going with me to China! Will update when we get the travel approval phone call!
