Travel Approvals are on the way!!!!!!! :))))
My husband called me at 0730 at work to share the good news. It was very hard to stay "professional". I wanted to shout the good news to everyone (which I practically did)!! Sara, from our agency, said she posted the news in her pajamas! God bless her!! To say the least, I am soooo excited!! In about two weeks I will hold our little Madilynn. God is so good!!

TA Tomorrow??????
Rumors say that "some kind of approvals" are on their way, but the last TA rumors apparently were not true. At this point I'll take anything! I am not very patient right now. I desperately want to hold my little Madilynn! She needs her family!!! OK; I feel better.
And.......my husband saw a ladybug today. Now that's a good sign for sure!!

Waiting For TA
Rumor has it that May 29th LOAs have some TAs coming in! I can only hope that this is true!
Sara said she would let us know if she hears anything (our adoption agency). I have started to pack. How exciting this is! I am trying to plan ahead so I don't have a big rush at the end. It is so hard to concentrate. Focus, Focus Focus! Of course the fun part is packing the baby clothes-sooo cute! I still have so much to do. Maybe my list of "things to do" will help pass the time. Come on TAs!!!! Glenda
