Tomorrow is his birthday

We hope that Andrew has a great birthday. Just wish we could be there to see him turn 3 years old. Today our final piece of paperwork was picked up from the US Consulate in Guangzhou China. This paper will be delivered to the Chinese authority that approves travel and then we will get word that we are approved to come to China. This next step will take approximately two weeks. We hope for Travel Approval and then we hope to travel to China during the Thanksgiving holidays or before.

This is the symbol in Chinese for our son's Chinese name Dao which means "path".
His middle name means "peaceful".

Also in his referral paperwork his personality is described as "active and sensible" and his favorite toy is "puppies".......

Happy Birthday Peaceful Path! We'll be there soon.

Thank you to his foster mother, a thank you that I can't begin to express in words.
