This week

This week was fairly uneventful as we are waiting for our article 5 pick up. We did receive some more paperwork (surprise!), another few hours of training videos, and a post adoption phone conference with our agency. We also got our passports with Chinese Visas inside!! Yay!!! 

We hope that maybe we will have TA (travel approval) by August 2nd. We have gotten quotes from one travel agent who is with Adoption Airfare. We will likely check with a few more...but it's looking like we will hopefully be able to leave Wednesday, August 17th and have our Gotcha day on the following Monday, August 22nd!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💗💗💗 We are planning to fly into Beijing and see some sights for two days- then take the bullet train down south to Guangzhou where we will stay the remainder of the trip. Depending on when our consulate appointment takes place we could possibly come home on  Wednesday the 31st or September 1st!! Yay for a rough draft itinerary...we can't wait!! 

Amazon prime shopping is a dream!! We've started ordering things and preparing our stuff to pack in just a few short weeks. It's so exciting when a new package arrives on the doorstep. Even diapers! It's the little things like that which are making it feel the most real. 

LOTS of info being given to us through online meetings and videos. 

Spending our free time reading up on our new daughters heritage...even 2-3 grade reading levels offer us great info! 

We are so close!!!! Pray all goes smoothly in the planning process for our trip.
