We haven't heard anything yet about when our travel approval will arrive. This whole week is a holiday in China...so I figure by the time they all get back to work...it could be 2 to 3 more weeks before we receive it :o(...(my best guess...but what do I know!). I did have a dream last night though, that we did receive it....we were sooo happy, and it had a great big shiney seal of approval on it!...it was actually the best nights sleep I've had in a long time, I only woke up around midnight and then not again until the alarm went off at 6:10...I am usually awake every hour! So obviously my dream gave me some peace.
We did receive a package in the mail today though! It was a DVD from one of the other families that adopted from the same orphanage. Someone had given them this DVD when they visited the orphanage last February...just before Mei Lin's first birthday. It was so great to see, and obviously will be priceless for Mei Lin when she is older and has questions about where she lived the first 2 years of her life. I want to go get her now more than ever! I first sighted her little legs and feet, as she was sleeping with the blanket over her head and her legs sticking out the side of the crib, it was really loud and babies were crying, I couldn't believe she was sleeping through all of that...but she did wake up eventually! She did smile at the video camera, she has a really cute smile, ...but she had the chicken pox and a huge booger in her nose! My mommy instincts kicked in and I just wanted to wipe her nose for her!
Just wanted to share my news with you. Have a good weekend!

Hi guys! It's so nice for you to get all this pics and videos while you wait...maybe there's still a chance we'll go together? If we ever got our referral this month, there may be a possiblity, but it's highly unlikely for us. Sleep tight.
So nice that the family sent you a copy of the DVD. This will be a wonderful memento.
Man I hate when I get behind in my bloggy surfing!! WOW...another video. What a wonderful gift that family sent you!! Gives you another glance at MeiLin and something else you "know" about her...CHICKEN POX!!! What a sweet girl you have!! Cant wait until you can wipe her precious little button nose!!
~~HUGS~~
