Photos and Next Approval

A week ago we had some photos of Isaiah from his orphanage sent to our email. We were very excited to get these as the last ones we had were about  9 months or so, we believe and we knew he must have changed a lot. Which he has!! He looks so adorable and so big. We are so excited to meet him in 2 more months. These came in response to a care package we had sent him, which is so exciting that we have touched his life in this small, tangible way.

The other exciting news is that we got our I800 approval today. It will still be several days, maybe a week until it is logged into National Visa Center but it is approved and on its way. So very happy to be onto the NEXT step.

After the approval gets logged into NVC, then I will email them, asking them for a pdf letter that states they have cabled the approval to the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China. This is the place where we have our very last appointment in China to finalize that our new children can become US citizens. Once I have that pdf I can forward it to my agency, who will then forward it to our China representative, who will have a courier hand carry our previous sent documents to the US Consulate in Guangzhou. This wait takes 2 weeks exactly, baring any holidays. 

When the courier returns to pick up the approval they will send it to Beijing where the CCCWA is located. Then we wait for our very last step of Travel Approval letter from China. This wait is anywhere from 1-4 weeks, with the average being 2 weeks.

All in all, it is still looking as end of May travel is very doable.. Praising God for his working ways in all of this.

Still needing funds, but we have faith that will come as well!!

Look at our Isaiah's sweet face..
