Well we are getting closer to our travel to meet our daughter! Currently we are waiting for an email notification from the National Visa Center. Once that is received I will forward it to our case worker and the agency will begin the process in China to get our "Travel Approval". After that we wait for an appointment date with the U.S. Consulate in China. Once that is received we can make our flight reservations and travel plans and apply for our Visas.
So what does this mean for travel time? Your guess is (almost) as good as mine! We were hoping for early November, but now I'm thinking more like middle to late November...maybe?? It just all depends on how fast things move. Things that are completely out of our control, but COMPLETELY in GOD'S HANDS!
Meanwhile....we continue to work on building up the account to pay for our travel. Mom and I worked super hard at tagging tons of stuff for the Charleston Repeats resale and I made $400! Woo-hoo!! I sold all of Colson's baby equipment, clothes (of course I held on to some of it...it was hard enough letting go of ANY), some toys, etc. I've also been consigning some of my clothes to my friend Beth's "Reinvented" consignment store. They are sending me a check soon:-) Small, but it all adds up--right?!
Here is how you can help us AND get something fun in return. You will notice an Adoption Bug notice on the left side of the blog. Adoption Bug allows us to sell a few of their t-shirt designs as a fund raiser with no work on our part besides the application. I just love some of their t-shirts! Here is the one I want, but there are a few others you may like to check out!
