TRAVEL APPROVAL/NOTICE OF COMING

First off I want to THANK Liz for this great picture. She had posted it on her blog when she got the same exciting news and I love this froggy!!! So I hope she doesnt mind that I "borrowed" it!!!

Well today at work I got a call from Roberta at Social Services telling me that my Travel Approval/Notice of Coming has arrived from China. Today was only DAY 25 of my wait!!! This is China (CCAA) inviting me to come and pick Channing up!!! My heart started pounding.......I told her I was on my way down to pick it up!! Oh what a feeling to finally have that piece of paper in my sweet little hands!!! This is the final piece of paperwork from China that I need before I get on that plane!!! China sent me 2 copies of the letter, one is for a keepsake for Channing and the other one I have to take with me to China. In order to receive Channing I have to hand them my letter........so here's hoping I can keep it in one piece until August 13th!!!

I guess I will have a drink tonight to celebrate this final piece of the puzzle before I head to China. I'm sooooo excited, nervouse, stressed, happy and most of all I'm soooo ready to be a mom to Channing!!!! Only 37 more days and my dream will come true!!! Happy weekend everyone!!!
