Lots to be Thankful for!

While our family is not complete this holiday with Isabella waiting in China, we have lots to be thankful for. We finally received the clearance from Oklahoma last week. We spoke to our social worker who told us she has finished our homestudy and submitted it for agency review. After the final review of the homestudy, we can then apply for INS approval. Once approved, we can send our dossier to China and then we just wait for the green light to make travel plans. I am still hoping we will be ready to travel in January. We are so thankful for everyone who has given to our adoption fund so far. All of our financial needs up to this point have been met and we are confident that the rest of the process will go smoothly. We have our good health. We have a great support network. We have a great family. And we have a gorgeous little girl waiting for us in china who can't wait to meet all her brothers and sisters. We do indeed have lots to be thankful for!
