Last Thursday, I got the BEST call! My agency called to say we have Travel Approval! In the world of China adoption, it's the last step before you can come get your child; in essence, it's the Chinese government giving their final approval. Most people travel about a month after TA......BUT, we are going next Friday!! I am so grateful to my friends Michelle and Ann Marie, who are each joining me for a portion of the trip. (and I am especially grateful to Thomas, Meaghan, and Sarah, who are giving up their mom for a week so that I can have some help on the LONG flight home!) We will post pictures and updates here every day (assuming we can get Internet connections! :-)
