The phone rang at 8:45 this morning with a call from my agency saying that we had travel clearance!!!!!! I'm so excited!!! We're working on booking our flights right now. We're hoping to fly out on Wed. or Thurs. and return next week on Mon. or Tues. I'll update when I know what's happening for sure! Have a great day everyone!!!
Someone asked what our adoption timeline looked like so I've listed the highlights. Within all of this there was fundraising, fingerprints, adoption classes, CPR, immigration approval, etc. I didn't think I'd list all of those.

Wow! Heather called us right after she got the call that the TC has been approved, Exciting. We will have the boys until she and Brian and Emalee return home. I cant wait to see our new granddaughter. God is good. I've watched how God has answered the prayers of Heather and Brian and all of us who have prayed for this miracle and overcame each new challenge in the adoption process. His timing is perfect and we give Him the glory for bringing Emalee into our lives. Heather and Brian will not only need our prayer support but our "action" support. Waiting joyfully for our precious new grand-daughter to come home. PaPa Smith
