Well, That Was A Whirlwind

In the space of twelve hours:

We received TA - Travel Approval from China
Confirmed CA - Consulate Appointment from the US
AND bought plane tickets.

My breathing is barely back to normal.

My heart is doing the dumpity dump dump thing. Still.
Even at this point, it is still hard for me to wrap my mind around it all. 

We are going to China. On the other side of the world!

Because a little girl who has no one now has someone.

Who loves her very much.
We sent a care package a few weeks ago and that was the vehicle to getting all the pink dress pictures. Ann at Red Threads is highly recommended.
Can you imagine Joy's face when she saw all these pictures of her family?

Won't be long now.

  3. Jennifer,
    My name is Amy. Like most of the adoption blog world, I'm Sonia's friend ;-) We got TA on 8/23 and are flying out on 9/6!! Our daugher, Moxie, is in Jiangsu Province. Maybe we will run into each other in Guangzhou. I'd love to meet you since I have followed your blog for about a year and been truly blessed by your faith and testimony. Congratulations on your beautiful new daughter!!!!

    1. Hi Amy:

      A new daughter! PTL and congratulations!

      Let me know what hotel you are staying at? Our CA is 9/18. How about yours? If you want to give me your e-mail address, I won't publish it and we can correspond.

      Much Love,
      Jennifer
