It is hard to believe January is already over! Time sure does fly by. At the beginning of the month my sister gave us blank calendar pages to document the next few months for Zachary's scrapbook. Looking back at the month at a glance I am in awe of all we have accomplished. And, even though we have been in the process for 6 long years this last month has been a rush to the finish!



Just last Friday our adoption agency mailed our final signatures on the approval document called a "Letter Seeking Confirmation" to China! Once received China will begin our travel approval documents. We were told that could take 2-5 weeks.

Last Thursday, we mailed in our complete update package to USA immigration officers. We now wait to receive fingerprint appointments. Then, we wait for an updated valid I-797 necessary for bringing Zachary home. When we receive this document & the travel approval from China we will be able to begin travel plans. We are not sure how long it will take our government to finalize our I-797 but we anticipate we should have it by the end of February.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers! As you can tell there are a few vital details necessary before we are on the literal road to China!
