Last Nights Travel Meeting

Last night Mom and Dad went to the travel meeting! =D Mom said it went really well. They really like Bethanne this time around. Which is really good! Julie isn't our Social Worker anymore. She had some problems with her pregnancy and had to leave. So Bethanne is now our Social Worker. Mom and Dad asked Bethanne when she thinks they'll be leaving and she said the end of 2007!! So that's 3 or 4 weeks away!! I can't believe it! Last year we were thinking 3 or 4 years and now its weeks away!! =D I can't believe Mom and Dad are going to China! =D She so close yet so far away!!! Right now Mom's looking at Plane tickets!! I'm so excited!! Mom was telling me everything last night and I was still going back to 3 weeks from now!! That's so soon!! I'm sooooooooooooooo excited!! =D SO I'm thinking if Mom and Dad leave on December 26th, because - not sure if every agency does this- they have to leave on a Wendesday they'll come home on January 4th,5th,or 6th. Hopefully sooner!! They're going to fly into Bejing and from Bejing into Langhouz(sp?!), Gansu - where they'll pick up Sarah!- and then stay in Langhouz for some amount of days and then Langhouz to Guangzouh (sp?!), to Hong Kong, and then Hong Kong to HOME!!! Bethanne told Mom and Dad that they'll land in Langhouz on Sunday and can either get Sarah on Sunday or Monday or Tuesday! You won't believe this though! The drive from the Institue Sarah is in is 5HOURS away from Langzouh! Bethanne said it's a long and bumpy ride so she'll probably be car sick, not smell to good, and cranky. =(
If I remember more from what Mom told me last night I'll post, but that's really all. SHE"S ALMOST HERE!!! =D

Thanks Ally!!

Thanks so much, Ally!! It's so cute!

Miss Sarah Grace!!!!

Miss Sarah Grace: 5 months old!!!

Here is our precious little girl!!! I love all the little fuzz on the top of her head!!! She looks like Baba!!!!

Homestudy Went Great

First off, the home study went great!!! Julie came at around 3:30 and she stayed for 2 hours. We showed her around the house again and Mom and Dad asked questions on travel and stuff like that. She also told us that she's getting married this Saturday!!!! Congratulations Julie!!! Other than all of that though, everything went just fine! We're thinking we're going to be getting our LOA in about 2 weeks at the least to 120 days at the most. Mom told me that it looks like it's just like the LIDs. It takes about 2 weeks to get it. I can't believe how fast everything is going!!!

Second. Mom's trying to make it so that I only post one of Sarah's pictures instead of all 4. There are only 2 that turned out the best. One of them is her visa picture and the other is a close up on her face.

And thirdly. I can give all of Sarah's information out now!!! Sarah's Chinese name is Peiyu Qing and she's from the Ginsu province and is in the Qingyang Welfare Institute. She's 10 months old and the pictures we have of her are from when she was 5 months. She was born on August 22, 2006. She wore a red flower coat and was found with a piece of red cloth. She was found by a Security Guard the day she was born.

Sarah Grace

I would very much like to introduce Miss Sarah Grace!!!!!! Mom says I can't post her picture until we get the confirmation from China, which we hope will be very soon. We got the call at 7:30 this morning from Bethanne!! She said that right when she got our email saying we're interested in Baby, she immediately called the other families and told them that she was taken. She said that she didn't like the whole thing with sending like 8 different families LOIs to the CCAA so she contacts the first family and says that they can proceed with the adoption and that the baby is no longer available. If you think about it, it's pretty funny, we were the last ones to get the information and we're the first ones to call in and say we're interested and want that baby girl!! It really doesn't seem real right now. We've been waiting for so long that it doesn't really feel that different because we're just going to be waiting some more. I really can't wait to post her referral pictures!
