Well, it's finally happening. Olivia Tian Yi was welcomed into the family (mommy, grandparents, uncle, extended family and MANY friends) the moment we saw her. After receiving a referral on 8/17/08 we knew that this was the little one God had created especially for us. And we were created especially for her. 24 hours later (after frantically calling physicians, my insurance company and lots of people to ask for prayer) paperwork was sent to China requesting to adopt this little girl. On 9/5/08 I received my pre-approval from China and on 9/25/08 I received my referral acceptance. Whoohoooooo!!! Now the fun really begins! The wait for my travel approval....and then we're (me, uncle John and auntie Christine) off to pick her up and bring her home! Olivia will be 2 years old on 10/30/08! I can't believe it's actually happening....
So as soon as the travel approval comes, we'll start working with the travel coordinator to book our trip to China. If all goes as planned, we will be in China within the next 5 weeks. Woweeeee and NI HAO! (That's all the chinese I know)
