We are....... CHINA BOUND!!!!!!!

At 7 pm this evening, we had a call from our agency out in Oregon.   We have our LOA!!!!!!

I bounced down the hall like a Kangaroo to tell  DH and the kids, then did a RingORound the Roses dance with the kids!!!    Then you bet a had a nice size glass of wine LOL!!!

We are officially approved by the Chinese government for the adoption of Dang Xu He from Datong, Shanxi, China!!!   He is 3 1/2 and he was found when he was approximately one week old.   His given birthday is March 31st.    We are naming him Daniel and will choose a Chinese middle name based on how his name is pronounced.   The agency said we should prepare to travel in about 10 to 12 weeks!!!!!!

Thank you so much to my bloggie friends for your support and encouragement while we waited.   I truly hope I can meet one or more of you some day!!

The best Christmas present EVER!!!!!
