We had a visit with our social worker today (who is awesome!) and gave her the updated documents needed to file the I800a with the US government. We have a couple of little details that we need to take care of and send to her and then she will file our application. Then we wait-not so patiently for our approval. This can take up to 90 days but we are hoping for sooner. Feels kind of good to be done gathering all the documents we had to update but now all we can do is wait. We waited three years already I guess I can hold out a few more months! And for those of you that don't know, Drew won't be able to come to China with me but my wonderful Dad has offered to travel with me and keep me sane throughout the surely emotional trip. I am so happy I won't be travelling alone.
P.S. No updated info on Makenna yet but my agency is trying.

Hi Dana, we just got our referral on 12-29-08 for our daughter who lives at the Fuzhou Social Welfare Institute in Jiangxi Province. Same props in the picture. Which agency are you with and when do you expect to travel?

Liz,
We are with GWCA and our travel will be delayed because we had to apply for the I800a. We hope to travel in May which will not be with our group. I hate looking at her little face and waiting to travel but I know she is worth it!
One more step closer!! I hope I can move home soon so I can be there when little Makenna comes home. I can't stand the wait I don't know how you will do it.
My daughter has a friend that taped her first meeting with her adopted baby. You must! It is so memorable. So sorry Drew can't be with you. Thanks for sharing your journey with this.
beautiful! congratulations!
