Tuesday, July 10th 2012 - our TA day! So excited! In shock basically! I was wondering all day if I would hear from Karla after I got home from work. It had been a busy day. Read messages about other's getting "the call". Missed call from Zhou. An email from Zhou. Called Zhou. Sent Zhou email. Love that Zhou - he's from Shanghai!! Silence silence...get home and wonder some more if Karla is going to call.....mess around in Emma's room rearranging some butterflies and then....the phone rang! It was Karla!! Dude's not home - oh no! Guess what??!! It's the greatest news eva!! It was the good news we had hoped and prayed for. We got our TA ie Travel Authorization from the People's Republic of China for our adoption process. We now wait for our CA appointment - China adoption appointment. Not sure at this point of our exact travel date. Will find out in a day or so. Karla said right now she thinks 8/1. Kim and I (another Ohio China ma ma) are hoping for 7/25. But we'll take 8/1!! That's not that far away and gives us enough time to get our lives under control.....if that is possible. Is it possible to undo everything you have done for the last 25 years in 2.5 weeks......?? Naahhh - its not that bad.
We were hoping to fly out earlier though - who doesn't. Have some wonderful people who looks like we will just miss getting to meet them in person in China. But we are working on His time and He says "listen to Karla Lisa and do what the Karla says!!" Booo!! But I do love me some Karla! So we keep moving forward and dreaming the dream. Still hoping for a pic to show up. Ahh heck - I'll be taking a never ending supply in about 2.5 weeks! 2.5 weeks - doesn't sound bad, but man does that look like a long time away by looking at the calendar......the calendar.....hahaha....
Emma........Emma........Emma.....
COME ON....CAN YOU BLAME ME??
OH....AND THE POTTY CHAIR....PURPLE TINKERBELL!!
