I-800a Approval 8-30-2010

We received today, 8-30-2010, our I-800a approval. Basically this is the immigration approval for SaraJane to come to the US. It was mailed to the National Visa Center where they will approve her Visa. Now we wait for a piece of paper to come from the National Visa Center that will then be sent to our in China rep who will take it to the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China where they have to give their stamp of approval which takes 2 weeks. From there the paperwork is sent to the Chinese Center for Adoptive Affairs where they will process our Travel Approval. All said, it looks like we will be able to travel the first of November, which is impossible because of the Asia Games in Guangzhou. So, December still looks like the month. God's timing is Perfect, God's timing is Perfect, God's timing is Perfect!

A day in the life of teens and tots...

Ok, big day today! Trey got his license this morning. What a bitter-sweet day. The beauty of it is he now has his own transportation - less places for mom to be driving. The sad part of it is he now has his own trasportation and mom has a lot of praying to do. So Trey got 4 wheels today and little brother Luke, got two! This evening, Luke learned how to ride a 2 wheel bike without training wheels! Way to go Trey and Luke!!!!
