Good News!!!

Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land. Proverbs 25:25

We are so thrilled to announce that our LOA has arrived from China! We heard the news on Friday morning! The girls and I rushed to the store to have a cake decorated with "LOA" and then dashed off to let Kevin know at his work site. What a happy day it was! Then on Saturday we picked up the package from UPS sent by our adoption coordinator in Charleston! We signed the papers and sent them back immediately!

Today we filled out our visa applications and sent them on! Throughout this whole process, we have not wanted to be the ones to hold up progress!!

Now it is the wait for the "TA"... travel approval from China! That means we are approved to travel to China to bring home Mia! It will be a few days from the TA to secure the "CA" which means the American consulate appointment. After our appointment is made with the American consulate in Guangzhou, our agency will give us our travel dates. We are hoping from early September - but there will need to be some miracles to make that happen! Please pray with us for quick turnarounds on all of these papers!
