It hasn't been a month since my last posting but it feels like it! So much has happened in the last few weeks and here we are mid-february and thinking about when we might get to go meet and bring home our little boy!
Is this really happening?? Less than a year ago we actually started the adoption process from China; at that point our time frame was 18 months at the earliest! 11 months later and we have our visas and know we will be going to China this spring. The question still remains which month we will be leaving in, but we are preparing our hearts and our home to bring in another little one.
Currently we are waiting for our Article 5 to be issued. It would normally be expected this week, but with Chinese New Year we may have to wait an extra week. Once our Article 5 has been issued we will recieve our Travel Approval (TA) and then tickets are booked and the trip is planned!
I get overwhelmed wrapping my head around all that the next few months holds for us. Time is flying over here and it catches me by surprise constantly! In a city far away, in a home I've never seen, being held by another woman - is my son. I am so grateful for the family that is taking care of him in this time when I can't. I am not sure how I will ever be able to adequately thank them for all that they mean to me. To bring my little one into their hearts for a brief time, to take care of him, and shower him with love - it means so much. So very much.
