I-800 Approval!! WOW.... A GREAT WEEK!

We are totally psyched that we got our I-800 approval within 9 days of submittal but were informed of it at the 21 day mark.  This means (IN A NUTSHELL) we are about at the 60 day travel mark.... IF ALL CONTINUES TO GO ACCORDING TO PLAN and to stats and all that other stuff I truly don't want to think about.  WHAT'S NEXT????  Getting our Visa.  This means that Maran's Visa gets sent to the US consulate for them to process our paperwork.... ALL I CAN SAY IS.... GO MARAN or aka SI HUI LONG (her Chinese name).  Wow..... what an emotional roller-coaster.  We still pray that our friends in Alabama get their approval soon!  They had a set back but we hope that it doesn't make them fall behind.  They are such a wonderful family and deserve to get to CHINA ASAP .....of course we feel that we should be able to get there too....  what a BLESSING it would be to get there together...after all our daughters are BFF's in the orphanage!  Hugs to all ----
