Oooohhhhh!! I'm so happy to report that we are getting closer to our sweet Ellie!! Yesterday we received an email from our agency that our Article 5 was picked up at the consulate and on it's way to the Ch*nese children welfare system!! So what does that mean? Actually I have NO IDEA....but I do know that we have started our count down to the VERY LAST step!!!!!!!!!! We are now waiting for travel approval, or Ch*na's invitation to come and pick up our daughter!!! Our agency tells us it could take 2-4 weeks for TA to be issued. But with the averages of fellow adoptive parents on various web communities I belong to, it looks like I might get it in about 14-16 days!!!!!!!! So.... I'm praying, and my heart is set on leaving August 22....please pray for this! Pray for me to accept whatever day I will travel! Please pray for Steven and the kids here at home, while I am away. Please pray for our Ellie, as she is preparing for so many great changes in her life.
This is going to be a VERY long two weeks....while I'm once again WAITING!!! I've been packing, and repacking, cleaning, making bows (and ordering them), buying clothes, repacking, getting paperwork ready, getting immunizations, repacking..... I am soooooo very ready to go get my girl!!!
Maybe, by this time next month.....I'll be in the same country as my baby girl!!!!!!!!!!
