We have all of our needed appointments and are now waiting
to travel on May 4th-17th. Gotcha day is May 7th, that is the day we will finally get to meet Raya.

April 1

We received our Traval Approval (TA) today!
Who would have guessed that it would happen on April fools day?
Tonight our agency (Harrah's) will request a (CA) Consolate Appointment for when we are in China. This is the last appointment for when we will be in China. Once we know this date we will leave for China 2 weeks before that appointment. It takes 2 weeks in China to complete the process and come home with Raya. It usually takes 48-72 hours to receive this appointment date so I am soo excited that we will have our dates of when we will be traveling by this weekend. Wow!!
What a journey!!
Lilypie Date is set Ticker

Referrals came out and yes we are still waiting. They have assigned families from Nov. 30
to Dec. 8th. So they have completed more referrals this time then they have for the last few months so we are thankful that they have this many days completed. We are that much closer to being with our littlest daughter. In the meantime we are trying to keep busy with all the holidays that are coming quickly. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving break. We are also very excited to have company this year for Thanksgiving. Grandma and Pop will be coming to Texas for Thanksgiving--hopefully we will have a warm week.

Hope you all have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

We love you Bryan!!!
