Article 5 and TA...

The latest on our adoption is this: our Article 5 has been picked up by Lifeline and we're waiting on travel approval (TA)!! You're probably asking what is this article and where are the first 4...well, I don't really know either! All that matters is that it is the last step before we receive our travel approval which means we're in the red zone finally!!!!!!

We are estimating travel toward the end of January after Chinese New Year...all these holidays in here delay us a bit, but we know it's all in God's timing. This will give us some time to try and sell Ernie's car (listed on Craig's List now...let me know if you're interested) to raise the remaining money needed to travel without debt! Graciously, God has provided all the money we've had to pay to Lifeline through fundraisers, generous people and Premier Designs Jewelry! Now all that is left is travel and in-country expenses and God continues to bring that to us in different ways as well!

We are so grateful for God's provision and using so many of you to pray and give!! Please continue to pray as we prepare to go. Pray for safe travels and that God will use us to spread His message. We are amazed that He would call people as messed up as us to do this. We can't believe that we get the awesome privilege of raising this beautiful little girl in the Willis family!!
