We are making some slow progress with the adoption, and for any progress at all, I am grateful. Today we found out that the Article 5 letter (authorizing our son's Visa) is in the process of being shipped to the CCAA. Once received, it takes 2-4 weeks for us to be issued our travel approval (TA in adoption language). China will send our TA to our agency, and then the appointments can be set up in China. Then the trip can be planned and booked. It's looking like an end of April/early May departure at this point. In God's time, we will have that precious child in our arms.
Even though we are on the tail end of this process, it seems now that this time is the hardest for me. On the flip side, now is the time for myself and Fatherbird to enjoy Ms. sassafras - our family dynamics will be changing soon, and every season should be celebrated.
Looking ahead, we are excited to head to China again. God gave us our precious girl in that beautiful country, and it captured our hearts. Above is a picture of the Great Wall, a lovely sight.
