Travel Approval

We received our Travel Approval (TA)  and our Consulate Appointment (CA)!!  We will be purchasing our plane tickets next week!!  We can't wait!  We just have to wait for all of our other plans to be confirmed and then we can purchase out tickets!

I am sorry that I have not posted anything sooner.  It has been pretty crazy around here trying to get ready for Tia to come home.

I have been doing some research on her social welfare institute (SWI) and have been lucky enough to find a video from another family that traveled there. 




I don't think we will be able to visit the SWI, but at least we have an idea of what it is like there from the video.

Here She Is.......


Isn't she just precious!

Our Letter of Acceptance is on the way to China as I write this post. Then we have to wait to receive our Travel Approval before we can make any plans. This usually takes about a month. Then the race to go get her begins!

This is our stork Flavio delivering her package to us. He has taken more Fed Ex packages on our journey to Tia than I want to know. And there is still a few more come! Job security for him!




Stay tuned for more updates! I need to research Yangxi Counnty where she is currently residing.

We received the call we have been waiting what feels like a lifetime for. We have a beautiful baby girl that is seven months old waiting for us in Yangxi County, China! Words cannot describe the way we feel right now!

Will share more info and pictures when we can!
