Travel Approval !!!

We just received our travel approval for China!  Our agency called late Friday with the good news.  They said we will be picking up our son on June 20th.  We had hoped to travel sooner but we will just have to wait an extra week or two.  Our tenative travel dates are June 17th - June 30th.  We will confirm on Tuesday with our agency when our Consolate appointment will be.  Andrew's paperwork is all done but we have to schedule with the consolate in China to get his travel visa.  This must be done in person in Guangzhou, China.  We will depart the day after we get his visa.  Travel looks about like this.  Fly into Shanghi, bullet train to Nanjing (City where Andrew lives, also the former capital of China)  Meet him and hang out in Nanjing a few days.  There is provencial paperwork to fill out, release from orphanage etc.  Tour the city a little then travel all together to Guangzhou.  We hang out in this city, do some site seeing, visit the zoo, go to medical appointments, no TB or bird flu allowed into the US.  When that is all done we get his Visa from the US Consolate in Guangzhou.  Fly back to Shanghi and on to America.  While we are in his city we hope to meet his foster parents.  We would like for him to stay in contact with them but it is up to him and them.  We can't wait to get him!  Thank you family and friends for taking this journey with us.

Here are some other pictures we have of him!
