I am SO happy to say that we received our I800a approval (US immigration approval) last Saturday and that, as of tomorrow, the last piece of our paperwork will be on its way to China! Woohoo! I am so relieved that our portion of paperwork is finished. Now we begin the wait for LOA. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rest of the process moves quickly and we will be traveling to pick up our little Sprout sometime in September.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate this little milestone than heading to sunny Key West for a week. After non-stop rain/thunderstorms/tornadoes over the past week, a little fun in the sun will be paradise. Did I mention that the kids aren't going?!?! Yes, Stu and I will on our first kid-free vacation since 2003! I know I'll miss the kids but lounging by the pool, napping, reading and having grown-up conversations and beverages sounds like a little piece of heaven.

Exciting progress!
Congratulations! As you already know we are right there with you. Here's to September travel!
What? I had no idea. I'm just now checking in after my break. I tried to send you a birth announcement and Gotcha Day card, but they were returned. Did you move?
I'm totally in shock as I had no idea you were adopting again....does this mean you'll go back for number 3 to make it an even 3 girls and 3 boys?
Sprout is precious...okay, you are going to make me want to adopt again...shame on you :o)
