Wow, that was quick!

We received our passports today!! It was 2 weeks ago today that I applied! We didn't even have them expedited! SOoooo close!! It's hard to believe that in probably less than one month from now I will be able to hold my son!!

More good news!

Yesterday we received Zech's certified birth certificate and adoption papers that his birth mother filled out. This is so exciting!! This Thursday my girls and some friends our having an adoption party for me. I'm a little nervous, just because I Hate being the center of attention,and I hate having my picture made! But, I am very thankful for having time with my family and friends!! So looking forward to our HK trip so I can finally meet my son!! Keep praying! The trip is a cost we weren 't expecting, but God is great and I know it will be fine!

Some Good News

Well, the social worker called. We already have ICPC(?) approval! This isn''t suppose to happen until HCO is issued, then we would have to wait on I-600 approval. Well, tomorrow we get to send our I-600 form off! That means we possibly might travel in February!! Oh,.... I am so excited....and nervous.... I have an adoption shower on Thursday. Can't wait for that, we'll probably get to finish Zech's room now! This is going quick now! Thank the Lord!!

Still Waiting.....

Just thought I would post a little something. Not much is going on, we sent our passport applications off Monday. Megan and Macey decided they would like to go to HK with us, so they are getting their passports too. I don't think it's taking as long as it was, we should have them probably in 4 weeks. I did receive a medical report on Zech. It said he has high TSH level, but thyroid hormones were normal. They found small nodules on the left lobe of his thyroid. This should just be monitiored. I was really hoping to have Zech by his birthday(2/25), but that probably won't happen. We will just wait and pray.
Sending blessings everyone's way,

Oh my gosh!!

Lots happened yesterday! We received our USCIS approval, and the HK orphanage thinks it would be in Zechariah's best interest if we travelled to HK to pick him up! So, we're going to Hong Kong!! How exciting!! I have to admit, I am a little scared but the excitement of getting Zech out weighs it by far!! He has been with his foster family for over 2 years, so they want the foster mother to "hand" him to us. Plus, we will have time to visit with him a couple days so he can get use to us. I think I have so many questions to ask when I get there, but every time I start to write them down, I go blank. Still don't know the date, but now we have to go get passports. Also, our official match date is Dec. 21, 2007. That's one less week to wait! Keep praying! Thanks, Rhonda.
