WE HAVE TA!

We received travel approval this week!!!! PTL!!!!!!  We also received our consulate appointment so we were able to get our international flights booked!  We will be leaving on July 24th and meeting up with the families we are traveling with in Chicago.  Our return home flight is August 8th and we will be flying into Columbus at 6:58 pm!

Our last night we will be staying in Hong Kong. We are hoping that we will be able to meet up with Mer, our exchange student from Thailand....working out the details to see if that could happen.  She has graduated from college and is now employed so I think alot will depend on her new job.

So excited!  Can't believe this is finally happening!  We thank you for all your love and prayers during this journey...please continue to pray for Kara for an easy transition and that everything goes smoothly!  God is sooooo Good!

Praying for TA this week!

TA....travel approval....the last stop before appointments can be made in China and then travel arrangements made.  Hoping and praying that this will be the week that we know when we will be going to China to pick up Kara.  This has been quite a journey and now we are so close....it is really getting hard at this point.  Knowing what she looks like and knowing that we are going to see her soon....it is so hard!  Keep praying for us, and for Kara!  As well as the Hamptons whom we will be traveling with to pick up their Gracie!  Feeling so blessed right now, words cannot describe!
