YEAH!!! Laura and Mary called from AAI and our TA arrived today! They will be requesting an embassy appointment of May 12 or 13. It should be confirmed by tomorrow or Monday. We should know what dates we are traveling and be able to purchase our tickets next week. It looks like our trip will be around 4/30-5/16 plus or minus. IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!
I was told about your blog someone, who works with my husband, who has a brother that know your family. We are also in the process of our 2nd adoption from China. We have not been matched but are requesting a little girl with SN of cleft lip/palate, also. I'm excited to follow your journey as it looks like you will be traveling very soon. Congrats!
