Three more steps...

Of the hundreds of steps we have walked during this adoption process, we are down to three final pieces.  Today I submitted our DS260, which is immigration approval for Christian to be a US citizen.  In about two weeks we will get something called an Article 5 (no idea what this is or it's function yet - one step at a time :)).  Two more weeks and we get TA (travel approval).  I believe this will assign us a day at the Chinese Consulate, which is "THE BIG" appointment.  All travel in China is centered around this appointment.  Two more weeks and we are on a plane.  So, if my math is right, in about six weeks we will be boarding an airplane and traveling approximately 22 hours to China.  The time difference is about twelve hours, so we will have a few days to acclimate and adjust from our jet lag and then we will be meeting our son and holding him in our arms!!!
