We got some good news today. We have a tentative travel date. It looks like we will be traveling to go get our girl October 3rd. Yippee!!!! It could change if the Consolate doesn't have any appointments left on the 14th, but I think we are safe to say that's when we are leaving. I didn't expect that call today so things are moving quickly now. Only one more form to fill out and we are ready to go. That one should only take about 5 working days to get back so I think we are good. Now we have to buy the airline tickets....ugh. They are about $1800 each!!
Our raffle is taking off slowly so we need to kick it up a notch. I will be selling tickets for any of you that don't feel comfortable donating on the computer. So, if you see me somewhere, I will have them on me.

UNTIL FOREVER
This morning in China a mother cries
She'll never forget her daughter's eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain
Her tears run down like the falling rain.
She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of keeping is too much to bear.
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.
This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race.
Someone passing has heard her soft moan
She is soon taken to a foster home.
It's here she'll reside in the care of another
Until she's adopted by a brand new mother.
That very same day in the U.S.A.
A woman cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of
"Dear Jesus, I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China until I make my way
and then in my arms she'll forever stay."
-Tom Fisher
Romans 8:15
Ye have received the Sprit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
