I-800 Approval and a Package to China!

Today we got our I-800 approval!  That means we are just a couple steps away from Travel Approval.  We are hoping to travel sometime in March. 

The week after Christmas, we sent a package to her orphanage!  We sent a very special book that my sister in law gave us and some chocolate for the orphanage staff.  The book has about ten pages of questions about our baby's life so far.  Each page of questions is written in English and in Chinese.  It asks questions about her development, her likes and dislikes, "firsts" and information about the day she was found. You can find the book here: http://www.sharpbooks.com/ We have high hopes that the orphanage staff will give us some information, but our orphanage has a reputation of being very private and not sharing information about the children.  They also don't give updates.  We know that she was in the orphanage until Thanksgiving, but we aren't sure if she is still there or she is in foster care.  The Kunming orphanage has a great foster care system.  No matter where she is, we pray everyday that she is getting loved and held.
