We got the call today and we are approved to travel to China to adopt our son. I'm not sure of the dates yet, the agency will work that out and give us a call in the next few days. But sometime within the next 30 days I should be meeting my son for the first time. :-)

Yea! I know you are anxious to finally meet your new son. It will be soon enough now. I am so excited for you. My good friend recently adopted a little girl that was 12 months old from China and has had her for about a month. She and her husband just love her so much and she has already become attached to them. They are coming over to visit with us this afternoon, so I am sure I will be thinking about you at that time. Please keep us updated and post some pictures as soon as you get back with your new son.

How exciting!! I am very happy for you and your family. I have been thinking about you. Watched a special on adopting from China--I was pretty emotional by the end of the show. Its amazing what people like you are willing to do for these children--it is really wonderful!! All of the children were so beautiful too.

Congrats Mom!
