Provisional Approval

We received our approval from Homeland Security to bring Jordan into the USA!!!  We will now be traveling to China in about 2 months.  Because of Chinese New Year and Christmas I think we may be delayed until mid February.

I also got more pictures of Jordan a few days ago.  The service I used to send Jordan a care package got more pictures of him with the backpack on that was sent.  He doesn't look too happy to have that thing on his back;) 

More pictures!!!!

There is a family in China right now adopting their little girl who is at the same orphanage that Jordan resides.  They got some new pictures for me when they visited the orphanage!  Yay!

He looks like he is ready for us to come get him!

Isn't he ADORABLE :)  I want to kiss those little cheeks! and see him smile!

We are still waiting on our approval from Homeland Security to say we can bring Jordan into the States.  I expect it to be coming soon.  Then it will be about another 2 months until we travel.  Can't wait.

Update and pictures of Jordan

I ordered and sent a care package to Jordan soon after we got our acceptance from China.  Part of the package includes an update and new pictures.  We received them last night.  The growth update has him at 10kg and his height at 77cm (which is what he was on Sept 1 ), so his height isn't updated.  The nannies say that he "loves eating and has a small temper.  For example, when he goes out for playing, if nanny doesn't hold him in her arms, he will be unhappy.  He is a little unhappy for taking photos of him.  Anyway, he is a very cute child!"
As you can imagine, we are always thrilled to get new pictures.  He looks like he has grown a lot from the last pictures.  He's not looking like a baby anymore:(
We can't wait to bring him home.  Just a couple more months!
