Gilbert, party of 4!

Finally!
Last Monday, December 1st, we received word that China had translated our dossier and approved us for our kids!
They are officially ours... now we just need to go get them!

I spent the majority of last Tuesday finishing up their immigration paperwork and got that sent in. We are currently working on travel documents and have our appointment set for our vaccinations in January. There is still a bunch of paperwork to fill out, but it's all in steps. (Can't do anything until the immigration is approved, and then can't do the next step until that previous step is approved...)

We still do not have travel dates, but they are estimating we will go early February. (Easton's birthday is Feb 18th, so pray we can get to him before that!) If we can't travel in early Feb we have to wait til March because Chinese New Year is Feb 19th.

Now the part you all have been waiting for... pictures! We are finally allowed to show their pictures. The pictures we have are not super current; we have requested updates so hopefully those will be coming soon!

Our hearts are full and we can't wait to meet them!
Until next time...
