We're "pre approved"

Been home since last night, but we just listened to the messages. We had a voice mail on Friday from Pam (that wonderful lady in the Waiting Children Department at CCAI!) stating we are officially pre-approved to adopt our little one waiting in China.

That's good news! Now, we wait for the next step, which I *think* is when we are alerted to download our "TP2" Travel Packet. This gives us the necessary information to begin preparing for actual travel to China...travel agency info, visas, packing lists, etc. When this happens, we will know our paperwork is in the "match room" though I still don't know what that means! Oh, well. Whatever all these acronyms mean, I know one thing for sure. Each acronym we "earn" is one step closer to bringing home Xiang Xiang!

After that, we will await TA, Travel Assignment and CA, Consulate Appointment. At that time, we'll know WHEN we get to go to China. My guess is China in September, but we'll see.

Keep on praying for Xiang Xiang (who, by the way, WILL have an "E" name...we're down to two favorites!) Lord, keep her safe, well and prepare her heart to know You!
