Settling down...

We are finally resuming back to the "real world" after being on Cloud Nine for the past 4 days. This week has been a whirlwind, to say the least and filled with signing, copying and FedExing paperwork. The people at Kinkos now recognize me!

Our letter of acceptance lands in China today or Monday and our Visa application is being couriered today, to the Chinese Embassy in New York. We hope to get the Visas back next week. In the meantime, the next step is to wait for our Travel Approval from China. This could show up next week or 4 weeks from now. Another mom from our agency informed me that a family who received their referral in June, received their TA the week after referral. BRING IT!

We have received some of the most beautiful words and well wishes this week, from family and friends, who have waited the last 49 months with us, cheering us onward. THANK YOU! We could not have made it through without each and everyone of you.
