One Step Closer!

After a longer than expected wait, we have received a preapproval from China to adopt X(We are not allowed to post info on her on the web, so we will just call her "X")!  We are so thankful for all your prayers and your concern!  Now we are one step closer to bringing her home!
We have three remaining steps before we travel...
1. Letter of Confirmation from China (1-3 months)
2. Consulate Approval and provisional approval (6 weeks)
3. travel approval (3-4 weeks)
4. TRAVEL 3-4 weeks after we receive our travel approval
(each step has to be completed before the next step begins)

We are praying for God's timing, and we know that our Heavenly Father wants X home as soon as possible!  Oh, I desperately want to receive the Letter of Confirmation from China in less than a month!  If all the wait times are on the short end, we could be traveling at the end of December.  If the wait times are on the long end, we should travel in March.  We would LOVE to travel the last week in December to pick up X!  Our kids will be out of school, so that would be easier on our parents to not have to keep up with the rigorous school schedule of our kids while Greg and I are in China.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
