This is another picture of our little man. I told Ron that since his outfit matches the original baby's room, we could just leave him in the pink room. I probably don't need to write that we are painting a room blue and green. I will try to explain what happens in the process now. I admit that I find it very confusing myself.
If someone was just starting the process and chose a baby from the waiting list, it would take five months for to be able to get him. We have had a dossier in China since December so we should be farther along in the process. Just how far along depends on how much time it takes them to find our dossier since it is mixed in with the people who went the regular referral route. From the time they locate our dossier and give the "okay" for us to adopt him, we will then have to wait for travel approval. Right now travel approval is averaging about 45 days. After travel approval, our agency books our travel arrangements and we leave in about two weeks.
To summarize, if they found and approved our dossier today it would still be a couple of months before we travel. That is unless, God has other plans which is not unusual. I hope this explains why we are so vague when people ask us when we are going to get our little boy.
Pray with us that we will not have to wait long and that God will give us patience while we wait.

He's just precious. I pray, for your sakes and his, that you all will not have to wait long to see each other. He has been waiting a long time for you, too.
We are so excited for you! We have submitted our SN checklist also despite being in the traditional program. I will be interested to see how long it takes to chase down your dossier. Keep us up to date and congrats! Oh yes, Liberty is lovely as well.
