We are so excited to announce that we received Travel Approval (TA) last Thursday 4-17-14 and Confirmation of our Consulate Appointment 4-18-14. I was able to secure our flights by the end of 4-18-14. Friends, WE ARE HEADED TO CHINA!!!
We will leave in less than 2 weeks: Our flights leave Louisville 4-30-14. We will have a layover in Chicago then straight on to Beijing. I will include an itinerary of our trip as it is confirmed. We will stay a few days in Beijing and then head to the Henan Province where we will receive both kids the same day, even though their orphanages (Social Welfare Institutes) are over 2 hours apart.
I am finishing the plans for family who is coming to stay with the kids while we are gone. I have revised and will continue to revise packing lists, get meds, pack Drew and I as well as the kids, organize the house, contact doctors to make apointments for our return and a million other things:) I am excited and nervous and anxious and peaceful all at the same time. We plan to blog each day, or as much as we can while we are gone, so please stay tuned.
Please continue to pray for Elizabeth and Levi as they prepare to leave everything they've ever known, for their health and ability to trust us as we graft them into our family. Please pray for Evan, Anna and Rebecca (and those staying with them) while we are gone, that they would stay healthy, distracted and prepare for our return. And for our travel plans, connections, timing, health, details of the trip to come together.
Praying......
