China has logged us in! The last LONG wait!

     Our dossier was logged in in China on Oct. 26! That means that now we are at the point where all we do is wait for China to give the big approval. Right now those approvals are running 55-60 days. And when we do get it, it will be roughly 2 months to travel!!!
     We are thankful that we are coming into the holiday season! It will make the wait a little more bearable.
     For those who pray for us on the financial front... We need $350 to finish the China escort/translator fees and then the fees due to China are finished! So unbelievable! After that we will focus on the flight & meals while in China, which will be roughly $5,000.  That's it! Less than $6,000 to finish! AND, we haven't heard from Show Hope yet (adoption grant). We will hear from them by Nov. 15th.
     We received this picture of Maggie last week. It is the first picture where we can see a little of her personality; can tell she is giggling. We love her so much already!
