Gettin ready

Its been a busy 1.5 weeks since I last posted (not that I'm countin down the days or anything ;-) ). We've been filling out paperwork (application to classify JJ as our SON for the USCIS, applying for JJs US visa, applying for our China visa's to go get him, getting documents notarized, power of attorneys, cashiers checks drawn etc etc) crib building, started babyproofing the house, and of course a little shopping (as of today).

We are so excited that each day is one day closer to going to get our sweet son. Each completed step gives us a better idea of when we will go (CC & I are the ones going - appreciate prayers for us and for Hubby and the other 2 who will be holding down the fort at home) but we wont have a firm travel date until we get our US Consulate Appointment in Guangzhou, which can't be scheduled until we have our Travel Approval granted by the Chinese Govt, which wont be given until we have our I800 approval from the USCIS (which is what we are waiting on now)... and thats the simplified version of what still has to happen...

So so grateful for your prayers and support!!!
