The Countdown!!

I have a secret Facebook group for all of you fellow face bookers but thought I better update here to those of you that are not on Facebook!  We leave in less than 48 hours!!  We are flying out on Thursday April 23 and will arrive in Guangzhou on Friday April 24.  We will receive Oliver on Monday April 27 and finalize his adoption on Tuesday April 28.  We will arrive back in Evansville on Thursday May 7 at 8:45 PM.  Any and all are welcome to come to the airport!
I will try to post some updates here but I will mainly use Facebook as a way to communicate.  Here are a couple pictures!

This is the last time that we skyped.  Sandra received 4 new babies and everyone has had a cold so it was not our best Skype session!

Oliver taking a couple steps!

See everyone soon!

Skype....It is a wonderful thing!

Hi everyone!  A little background about where Oliver is located.  Oliver is in the city of Yangchun which is in the Guangdong province.  Sandra King has established 4 homes in China and one of them is The House Of Grace which is located in Yangchun.  She is able to take some of the special needs children from the government run orphanage into this foster home to care for them.  She is such a special lady!!  Oliver is lucky enough to have been picked for her foster home and is thriving there!  And...to top it off...we get to Skype every Friday night with him.  Sandra has mentioned that he is a totally different baby since we started skyping.  He know sings and laughs.  He even says Momma!!
Here a few pictures taken during a Skype session.


Tanner was sticking out his tongue so Oliver did the same thing!   Monkey see...Monkey do!



We received our Travel Approval on Good Friday.  What an awesome day it was!!  We requested our consulate appointment and waited.  We received the email on Tuesday that our consulate appointment is scheduled for May 5, 2015.  We will be flying out on Thursday April 23rd and receive Oliver on Monday April 27!  We are over the moon right now!!!  Stay tuned for our travel information!
