Hi to all thats reading,
I can now confirm with all the horrific weather throughout china, that it appears even though Foshan is experiencing 2c tempreatures when normally this time of year,12c. All appears well at orpahange unlike other areas that took the hit form snow storm. The worst they have seen in over 5o years. Millions of dollars of damage and of course at the time of year that the Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year. So all decorations and travel plans to families were devasted by weather conditions.
TODAY WE RECEIVED ALL OF OUR PAPERWORK PRIOR TO TRAVEL.
So we have passports and visa in hand, we have all offical paper work from N.T adoption unit. I think our paper work alone will weigh more than our bags with clothing. We have Crisp brand new US dollars and RMB so we are ready to roll. Bring on Wednesday 2oth Feb.
We had our friends over on Saturday night and a big thankyou to Kel and Sue for Crafting with me .
We made a wall hanging of Zians name. It came up beautiful. Tracey you are not forgotton, thanks for keeping the big boys occupied in playing cards.

Mum came over on Monday to help me pack Zians bag of clothing and to get all 20 pages of instructions(lol) from me on the boys. What there schedules include school, sports, sleep overs, lunch orders etc etc.
We have never been away from our boys for this long, together, and i think quietly im starting to fret....
I have made so many contacts over the internet and it feels great to be able to share our story and journey and to learn and watch so many other families travelling the same path we are. We were blessed with a contact family Angie and Andy who recently visited Zian, gave her a cuddle and sent us the Australia day photos. How amazing these connections we can make by putting ourselves out there for the support that is needed in this long journey we began back in 2005.
I am hopping when we travel we will be able to bring joy to other families who have requested photos of ther children who arewaiting to travel.
Our other big news for today, my Brother Jason, wife Peg and son Curtis are expecting a new addition to there family in late August. So this year is a big year for our growing family.

Hi Jodie,
I "met" you on the FCC site - I am an American living here and adopting our little girl,Tia. It is so fun to see all the pink clothes in your photo :) I hope to get an update that you have met Zian and all is going well before we leave on the 27th. I'm so excited for you. Zian is absolutely gorgeous!
Cheers!
