Confirmation from China

This week we finally met China's full approval to adopt Yu Ping!  It is called the "Confirmation"  letter or LSC/LOA.  We immediately sent out another huge pile of paperwork to US immigration to request to bring her into the country.  This will take about 8 weeks, and then we will be set to travel one month after that. So, barring any further complications, Don and I will head for China in late February to meet and bring our daughter home!  We will be gone for almost 2 weeks.  The boys will stay home with family.  It will be tough to be away from them for so long, but the trip will be long, expensive, and in many ways too stressful to take all 3 of them with us.  I've got a new wardrobe waiting (SO FUN to shop for girls clothes!) and her room is nearly complete with new paint and wallpaper.  I wish she was here enjoying the "first snow" with us!
