I am in Africa people! Things are GREAT and the internet is HORRIBLE!!! I can't even get on Blogger so I am trying to blog remotely. If you get this leave me a comment so I can know it works. I won't be able to publish the comments till I get home though.... NOW FOR THE NEWS!!!!
We have been APPROVED by China!!!! We are OFFICIALY Kaiya's mommy and daddy. WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!! I just found out today. The LOA has not actually been sent yet. There was some little mix up with a receipt of payment being lost so it is being mailed and should be here next week. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??? In 7-8 weeks (Lord willing and the creek don't rise) I WILL BE HOLDING KAIYA!!!! ACCKKKKK!!! This is amazing. It's almost time.

Glad you got to post, even remotely. :) AND HOORAY! I am so excited you got the good news. God always answers our prayers...not always in the time or way we expect. You will be quite a world traveler by then. :)

Wooohooohooohooo! Fantastic news, I am elated for you. SO glad to hear you are in Africa safe and sound. Can't wait to hear about it and see some pics girl. Be safe and hug on those kiddos for me too ok? Sending lots of love and prayers.

PTL!!!! Congratulations!!!!
OUTSTANDING!
Congratulations on the LOA! I am partial to LOA for two reasons now.... I always think "Leave of Absence" as in a sabbatical when I see LOA. Of course, in the adoption context, your LOA is sssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!
Hugs all around!
I am so happy that you are approved and will be hopping from one continent to the next to the next in such a short time :) Glad you are settling in nicely in Africa and that all is going well.
Congratulations!!! I am so happy to hear this news. I am sure the time will fly by! Praise God!

Okay Angel I read your latest blog first and then scrolled down to see you are officially Kaiya's parents - there were tears already but now there are more. :)
God is blessing you so greatly!
YAY! YAY! YAY! I checked this last night, and nothing...I knew it had to be internet related, then this morning two posts!!! So wow! end of May early June you could be off again but to China - crazy! you're officially a World traveler! Are you having to post through email? I've never done it, but it's a cool option if it's working for you. Can't wait to hear more.
OMG, You knew the day you went to Africa is when the LOA would come through...
YAY Angel I'm so freaking happy for your family!!!!
