Article 5

So last Thursday morning we got an email from the National Visa Center that Owen's information had been forwarded on to the US Consulate in Guangzhou for approval.  This letter went to our agency and they provided the Consulate with all the information needed regarding our case so that Owen could get approved for a Visa to enter the US.  This is currently where our paperwork stands.  This step takes 2 weeks and once we find out that he has been approved we will officially only be waiting on TA=Travel Approval!!!!  Yay!!!  So close.  We are keeping an eye on airline prices so that once we get the official TA we can book flights right away.  We are working on getting the last of the boy's room together.  Swapping carseats and just in general getting excited!!  Konnor keeps asking if it is time to go bring Owen home yet.  He seems to be willing to share everything except the bathtub.  Apparently we are to go buy Owen his own bathtub : )  We compromised on Konnor being able to take baths by himself if he wants to.  Overall things are going great!  I am going to post a few links to some fundraisers below.  Please check them out and spread the word.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us this far.  We are so close to bringing this precious boy home and making sure there is One Less Orphan in the world.  Please share our fundraisers.  Every dollar helps.
