We are going to China!!!!

It doesn't even feel real yet! We found out this morning that our first requested CA date of 9/29 is confirmed!!! We are so excited!!! We leave Columbia on 9/18 and return home on 10/1. I will post our itenerary when we get it. We would love your prayers during this time for those of us traveling and for those staying at home. We are going to miss our guys at home so much! Please pray for Cate that her transition will be an easy one for her. We are about to take her away from a foster family that I'm sure she loves. 13 days!!!!

Kim,
SO happy for you! Amazing how TA changes everything, isn't it? I can't wait to follow your journey to Cate. That would be the negative to us leaving next week, I could't follow your journey as closely. Oh well, we will see what God has planned for us.
Looking forward to your shower on Sun.
Start packing,
Jan

Wow...you got that quick...and I heard that the CA appointments were booked for September...Good for YOU! You all deserve it after that long wait for LOA!

I have been following along your journey to Cate ever since I first came across your blog. I saw her sweet face when she was waiting---what a perfect match you are for eachother!

I hope you do not mind, I am putting a link to your blog on my blog so my family and friends can easily drop by your blog and read your story! Hope to see lots of pictures when you are in China!

Congratulations,
Erin

You are soooo in my thoughts and prayers!! I'm thrilled beyond words that you finally have a DATE to go and get that precious little "gem" of a girl!!! I can't wait to follow along!! CONGRATULATIONS!!

I am so excited and happy for you. They must have opened up more appointments in September...that is the same thing that they did last year and we happened to get one. I would love it if we would get our TA early this coming week and were still CAs available! I know that if it is God's plan I will be there in China when you are but if not I will enjoy following your journey and we will probably have to wait and go in November....because of the fair and our daughter in the Guangdong province. My prayer was answered about you traveling in September...I am thrilled for you.
