Picture sent with Sydney's referral. The first time we saw this picture was on my cellphone sitting at Blue Sky (serves the best hamburgers) on February 27.
We received this picture in March. The agency requested an update for us since the information was old. The kids loved her crocs!
Isn't she a little cutie?! I just want to squeeze her cheeks.This picture & next pictures are from June's orphanage call.
I love this picture because she is smiling! The pictures are taken at her orphanage. It has beautiful landscape!
Little Miss Sydney HopeLove that girl!
TC (travel coordinator) said we should expect travel mid to late October. The issuance of travel approvals (TA) have been delayed a bit (totally did not ask why because at that moment I was so excited!) so we will not travel as quickly as others. Sydney turns 3 on October 22nd. I would love to be there for her birthday (really I love to be home with her)!
We want to say a huge Thank You to everyone that has been praying for us, commenting on our blog, sending us emails, thinking about us, responding to my emails and more. God has truly blessed us with an amazing family and friends (even if we have never met in person)!

Jenn, congratulations!!! You must be floating tonight! Enjoy that feeling as long as it lasts! The wait for TA was not nearly as hard for me mentally as that LOA, and you waited way longer so I think your TA wait will be icing on the cake!

I am so excited for you! I contacted you in the fall and have been keeping up with your blog. Congratulations! She is so adorable and in really good health. Our dossier was logged in on July 27th; we have the long wait ahead of us now. I hope I can be as graceful as you during this time! Again, congratulations! Michelle G.
Oh Jenn

Yeah!!!! SO happy for you guys! It is about time! This is wonderful news. She is beautiful and looks so happy. Her little crocs and outfits are adorable...I know you can't wait to kiss those cheeks! You do have a little paperwork ahead and you'll feel like you are plunking down a boatload of money, but it is only money! God owns it ALL! This is what you have waited for, and don't get overwhelmed with the paperwork...remember, the hardest part of the paperwork is BY FAR behind you. AHHH!!!! So excited for you and will be following along.
Hugs, Ann
Our Agency won't do travel during that month due to some kinda fair or festival that goes on during the month of October. I remember slightly about this with our 1st adoption. We didn't travel until November; so here we are again and we will be waiting travel for the first of November this time again.
It would be awesome if we could travel together or at least cross paths.
