Travel Approval!!!!

February 6, 2012

Dear Lucy Hope,

We finally got approval to come to China to get you! As I was on my way out to the airport for a short business trip, your mommy came running out of the bedroom saying “We got it! We got it!.” She had just received an email from Lifeline telling us the Chinese had invited us to come over and pick you up! We found out that March 5, 2012 would be a very special day for us because that’s the day that we’d get to see you finally. We were told in the email that we’d need to be in China on March 3, 2012. 

So, now we can begin to make plans to come and bring you home. You will become a citizen of the United States of America on March 13, 2012 (well, almost) when we take you to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou. We have been waiting a long time for this day, Lucy Hope, and now it’s just a few short weeks away. Can you believe it? Lily Grace and Lia Faith now understand how close we are to seeing you and for them that means a new little sister to play with and to love. For us, it means another ‘sweet baby girl’ to love and care for. Austin says that he’ll be your first favorite because he was Lily Grace and Lia Faith’s favorite. I think he may be right, you know he already loves you too!

We can't wait to see you Lucy Hope!

Soon.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, Austin, Lily Grace, and Lia Faith

Love,

Jerry, Connie, Austin, Lily Grace, Lia Faith, and Lucy Hope
