Right now we are waiting for our "travel approval (TA)," which is issued by the Chinese government. This week I need to apply for our visas at the consulate in Chicago. Then, as soon as we get our TA we can get our flights. We are tentatively traveling March 27-April 12!! So exciting!!!

We are so excited that you will soon be bringing your little boy home. He is a cutie!! You are going to have your hands full but how much fun it will be. We can't wait to follow your journey to China.

Becky,
Your son is darling! I just read your blog. Our daughter Emma was adopted through CHI in '06 so that is where you "know" my name from. :) Our daughter Sophie is being adopted through AAI and we are waiting for our I171H so that we can be DTC! I look forward to following you to China in the meantime! Congrats~Megan M.
He's got quite the dimples, He's three months older and four punds lighter than Acer, but otherwise much the same size. Plus, Acer has a Rody Horse like Tonito is on there. I can't wait to see your travel pictures. It will bring me back.
