Where we will go when we get to go

For those of us needing reading glasses, double click on the image to see it larger on your screen. It shows only the Jiangxi province, south of Beijing, west of Shanghai, north of Hong Kong.

So, first we have to receive a travel approval (TA) document, from the Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA), the same organization that matched us to Wen Li.

When we receive our TA, then my agency can arrange for our consulate appointment to get her American visa on her chinese passport, so we can bring her to the states and officially paper her American.

Our acceptance document was returned late to the CCAA due to poor delivery by Fedex. So currently we are not scheduled to travel with our referral group, the friends we have waited 7 months with for our babies. If our TA comes tomorrow, and the American Consulate kindly agrees to squeeze us in on December 6th with the rest of our group, then we will leave on the 24th of November.

That's right. We may leave as early as Thanksgiving Day to get our daughter! Cross your fingers, say a prayer, burn incense, or don't step on any cracks tomorrow. Whatever it takes!
