Still here, still waiting....

I know I've been quiet for a little while.  Many of you have been so kind to ask us how things are going with the adoption, when we travel, etc...  I wish I had more answers.  If anything, the best answer is always, "I just don't know."  We have not been issued our TA (travel approval) yet.  We must have a TA from China before we can begin buying airline tickets, booking hotel rooms, etc... I really, really hope we receive this before Friday, but I'm learning to be patient!  We saw M3's face for the first time in July and now it's November....patience is wearing thin, but we're getting there!  I so wish I could post her beautiful picture here, but hopefully soon, very, very soon!  Please keep praying for her heart to be soft and open to us.  Her world is about to be turned completely upside down!
