Our Article 5 is being picked up in China today. That is the final piece of paperwork before we receive our travel approval (TA)! We are hoping to receive travel dates in a couple weeks. It's looking like we could be in China a month from now! Our little tiger princess turned 15 months old this past Friday, March 1. We cannot wait to hold her in our arms. The waiting is difficult, but we are definitely keeping ourselves busy, so it makes the waiting less unbearable.
In December of last year, Eric, my mom and I did a lot of reflection, and after much deliberation, we have decided to relocate to Massachusetts. We will go through our first post-placement social worker visit in MO, then make motions to move to MA. While it is very bittersweet for all of us, we know in our hearts this is the best move for the family. We are greatly looking forward to having our daughter grow up near all of her grandparents, and have the terrific support system in place. Eric has some wonderful job opportunities in MA as well, so needless to say, the stars are aligning, and we are as well.
As if that's not enough on our plate, I have also decided to go back to school. I am getting my masters degree in social work through a 2 year intensive online program. My plan is to work in the adoption field upon graduation.
So lets see: adopting a toddler, moving across the country, job transfer, and going to grad school simultaneously. No problem, we got this.
