TRAVEL APPROVAL!!!!!!!!

Yes yes yes. We are going to China!! We received our travel approval and if everything falls into place should be able to leave on the 17th or 18th of August!! yes that is just 2 weeks away!

I'm ready though, been ready for a few months now!

So stay tuned, we are going to bring Sam home!

We have been trying to prepare Ruthie for a new brother and she seems just as excited as we are to bring Sam home. She often asks to play with Sam and pray for Sam and wants to give him a blanket and say "Hi Sam"

We also are trying to prepare her to be away from us for 2 weeks. And while I know she isn't old enough to comprehend how long things take I think she understands that mommy, daddy and Anna are going and she isn't. Hopefully she won't lose heart and will know we are coming back.

Ryan and Michael will be around to help her out and she'll be with a great family.
