Still Waiting.....

We have been staying busy trying not to freak out about NOT knowing when we are traveling. Okay, J.'s not freakin' just me. I am constantly on the "net" looking at travel websites comparing prices.

For those who don't know how all of this works...We received our "LOA" letter of approval on July 7. We are now waiting on the "TA" travel approval that usually takes 2 -3 weeks but could take up to 4 weeks. When we get the call from our agency we have our TA, we request the dates we would like our "CA" consulate appointment. This is the last thing we do in China with our new son. The "CA" usually takes 2-3 days to set after the TA.

So we could get our TA this week or next week and then we will know when we will travel within a few days. When we find out when we travel I can focus on packing instead of obsessing about the plane tickets!

We have a few events happening this week to pass the time. Little j.'s gotcha day is on Thursday. She joined our family four years ago. I can't believe she will be 5 in October! And this weekend we are hosting a reunion for families that have adopted from Yangjiang. Little j. and L. are from the orphanage in Yangjiang. We are really excited to see the other families again. This group of moms and dads are our extended family. We have become very close as a group and I know we will have a great time together. I will post pictures next week.

We are praying for safe travel for families traveling for the reunion. We are also asking for prayer for God's timing in our travel. Ryan David's birthday is July 30. We know we won't be there but we will be thinking of him.
