Trying Out My Blog

My goal is to write a post to this blog each day we are gone or at least a few times throughout our trip and post a few photos.

We officially turned in our paperwork yesterday to the China Center of Adoptive Affairs. It was very bizarre to see a papertrail that could easily wrap around our house come down to one document with a circular seal and star in the middle. For those who have followed us over the last three years.

The next step in our process is to wait for documents giving us Travel Approval. We are also turning in paperwork for our Visa and gathering all the paperwork we completed in the past.

While we wait and continue to hurry up with whatever paperwork needs completing on any paticular day and WAIT for the next step, we continue to keep our daughter in our prayers. She is currently residing in the orphanage in Chenzhou. Chenzhou is located in the southern part of China. From what we can interpret from a video from a kind person who recently visited, her living environment is the best it can be given the situation. We have read that though the area is poor which is to be expected, the nannies (orphanage workes) are known for being caring and keeping a clean enviornment with what little resources are available.
