The U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou forwarded their approval to Beijing this week! That's essentially what the Article 5 is. Now we wait an average of 3 more weeks for Beijing to issue travel approval! We should be on a plane 3-6 weeks after that.
So 6-9 weeks from now we'll travel. Our travel window looks like we'll
board an international flight (yikes!)
between . . .
June 24 and July 15!
We're still sending Baobei MeiMei (precious little sister) a letter every Friday. Today our agency is sending her a sticker book and a letter! Allie has been translating for us, but Valda has been checking it and fixing any difficult words, but today, Allie translated all by herself! It's so good to be able to remind her every week that
we love her! and we're so excited about traveling to her! and the day we arrive is coming soon!!
Thank you so much, dear friends, for praying for the Aldridge family, and for caring about us! We couldn't do this without community!!
