I 800 Approval, Visas and more.......



We received our I800 approval a few weeks ago, this is very exciting! This means that the US Government approved us to adopt and bring home Hunter. We're currently waiting for our Article 5, that's approval of Hunter's visa. We're hoping to hear something soon, we've been waiting 3 weeks! Once we have our Article 5, we should receive Travel Approval within 2-3 weeks! That's the last piece we need before we can bring him home, we will travel the first week of July to meet him and bring him home.


We're getting butterflies of excitement as we move closer to becoming a family of four! We've pulled out the suitcases and began the packing process. Funny, as I type this, 3 years ago today, we stepped foot on a plane to fly to a land that we've only heard of, to bring home a child that we only saw in photos. I can't believe that we're almost there again! We pulled out Sophia's Gotcha Day video's the other night, it was a tender moment watching them with her! She's getting excited as well, talks about him all the time, even telling him what to do........uh oh! Looks like big sister is kicking in early! :0)

Thank you for all your prayers and support, we appreciate them! It's been an emotional and exciting ride.....
