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

China sent out referrals and we have not gotten a referral yet but we are now a week closer. Yes, they have now finished from Dec. 7th-Dec. 14th. If they continue completing 1 week at a time we have about 2 or 3 months before we will find out where our littlest angel is. So with this season of holidays I don't think it is too big of a Wish that maybe it will be sooner than 3 months. When we adopted Jaime we received the phone call with all her exciting news on New Years Eve. I am making a Christmas wish that we would again receive that call on New Years Eve and start out 2008 toasting to our newest daughter in addition to toasting to all of our beautiful children.

Have a Wonderful Christmas season. Remember CHRIST is the most important part of CHRISTmas!!!

Merry Christmas from our house to your!!
