The countdown begins

The countdown has begun. Our preliminary paperwork has been electronically sent to China. We are now waiting for our pre-approval. They say it can take 1-1 1/2 months, so we are looking at mid-March for that step. Then we will wait another 2-4 months before we hear when we will be going. Please pray for us and our son that things go smoothly and quickly. I know that God's timing is perfect, but sometimes it is so hard to understand!! This will be a good opportunity for us to learn a little Chinese. Things like: Are you hungry? or, Do you need to go to the bathroom? or, Please go to sleep!!
