I-800 approval today!

Last post I said we were moving forward!  And then we stopped.  While the Chinese Government had attached us to Ali, the U.S. Government has been having some trouble!  The I-800 basically does what the Chinese Government has already done;  connects Ali to us and approves the adoption going forward.  Both governments have to acknowledge this.

Well, the US has been working through some problems on our side and, needless to say, we have been delayed quite a bit.  Add to that some of the challenges that have happened over the last several weeks like a little earthquake and a hurricane on the East Coast and things had pretty much ground to a halt.  But, we did hear from adoption agency today that we have been approved and are now … ONCE AGAIN … moving forward. 

By watching the time line of other people, we believe that we will be leaving to pick Ally up at the end of October.  The week of October 24th would be great so be praying for that!  But, whatever the date we will be ready to go.  Also continue to pray about some of Zachary’s paperwork.  We have filled it and believe that it will not cause any additional delays.

Thanks!
