travel invitation

less than one month to go...
We have our travel invitation!!  Today our agency called to let us know that we can schedule our appointment with the Consulate in China.  We are hoping to travel the first week of September.  This will mean that we will be in China exactly one-year after we first learned about Aoli and the Journey of Hope camp.  And we will be in China on her birthday.
I celebrated by going through all of the photos that were taken by our agency at the Journey of Hope camp last July and posting some of Aoli.  I was struck by how many of these kids I feel like I know and love but am yet to meet in person.  As of now, I know them through their new parents.  I can't wait to see our reunion photos of these kids all together in the US.
