ADOPTING A CHILD WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD
BUT FOR THAT CHILD THE WORLD WILL CHANGE
To give away money is an easy matter and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large, and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in any man’s power nor an easy matter…

Decisions have finally been made!!

Okay, so I got up this morning to head to the USCIS office, I had fire in my eyes. I stopped to check my email before running out the door to see that they had finally gotten back to me! They had taken care of what needed doing and sent it on to the National Visa Center. So I emailed Lisa at our agency and she said.. BOOK THOSE TICKETS!!!! So I spent the next five hours on the phone and internet trying to find the best rate possible. That was tough. Each time I check the prices changed... and you can't book a round trip for a baby that is only going one way and you can't book two round trip and one one way trip and I was ready to scream!! But FINALLY!!
I got a great guy at Delta and then I booked our tickets via Expedia and then called Delta and gave them the info and they got Cooper on the same flight home!!
So we leave in 16 days!!!
I can honestly say.. I Just don't know how I am feeling.. scared, nervous, excited, relieved!! My head is spinning!!
So Mia, Jeb and Li-Ling will pick us up at the airport. We have a hotel only three minutes from their home.. we met and keep Cooper on November 2!!!! He is ours FOREVER!!! I can't beleive this!!!
I am posting the last photos they sent me of him.. they are dated since way back in March.. but we just got them in September!!
