We Are So Close!!

After months of paperwork, waiting, more paperwork, more waiting and even more paperwork and waiting it looks like we may be traveling to get Noelle within the next month. We are now waiting on our official travel approval from China and hope to have that within the next 1.5-2 weeks. Once we have that our agency will request a consulate appointment for us and then we can make all our travel plans. We are hoping to either fly out on November 9th or the 16th. If those days don't work out we probably won't travel until December because of Jon's work schedule. Needless to say, I'm hoping and praying for the earlier date, but will do my best to be content with whatever happens. We will spend the entire trip in Guangzhou (Guangdong Province) because that is where Noelle is and it's also where the American consulate is located. We are getting more excited each day as we think about bringing our other princess home!!
