CA and Travel

Thought I would update one last time before we leave for China. With trying to get everything together before we leave, I might not get to update again.
We received our CA on Monday, 6/22/09. We got our airline tickets bought on Wednesday, 6/24/2009, which was our one year anniversary for our refferal of LeahJean. It is hard to believe that it has been one year since we first saw that sweet face. It is even harder to believe that one year has passed and we still are waiting, but that is coming to a end real soon. This time next week we will be in China. In 10 days I will be holding that sweet, precious little girl. We are so excited and so ready to go get LeahJean. Please continue to follow our journey. I am going to try my best to blog from China, but since China has blocked blogger, don't know what luck I will have. I will send emails and post on Facebook if I can't blog.
We are flying out of Atlanta on July 2nd. We will get LeahJean on July 6. We will arrive back home July 18th. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue this journey to our sweet LeahJean.
Love,
Melissa

WE HAVE TA!!!!!!!

We are so excited and over joyed to announce that we finally have TA (Travel Approval). We got the email today at 5:13 PM. We have tentative travel dates of July 1-17, pending CA (Consulate Appointment). We will have LeahJean in a little over two weeks. We are so excited. On June 24th, it will be one year since we first saw LeahJeans little face. This has been the longest, hardest year, and we are so ready to get our little girl home. Please pray that all goes well with our upcoming travel and please pray especially for LeahJean, that the transition and adjustment to her new live goes well. Will update more when we get CA, hopefully tomorrow.

Love,
Melissa
