Travel Approval!

Author: Donna  |  Category: Adoption

I know, I already posted this picture on another post, but do you really ever get tired of seeing her little face??

We received the call today, China has sent our Travel Approval! Our travel dates are 2-13 through 2-28. However, there is STILL something we need before our agency can begin making travel arrangements for us. We’re still waiting on our I-171H form from the US immigration. It should be here (I think I recently said this?) any day now. Our agency is making a call tomorrow to double check on it. The gal in travel told me today that even if the form doesn’t show until next week, our travel dates should still be fine. Chinese New Year in China is 2/7 and the whole place shuts down during that week. This actually worked out well for us…it’s allowing us to be home for Ab’s 12th b-day (2/9) and giving us more time to wait for that pesky form.

We are so thankful to God for working all these things out for us, and so anxious to meet our little girl!

    Here’s hoping that your 171h shows up very soon. Hopefully Chinese New Year will work in our favor and We can still travel with our big WCP group!
