We got the call we've been waiting for! Yes, travel approval!!!!!! Sounds like we may be leaving as soon as April 6. Holt will be making all of our appointments over the next few days. We should have our flight & hotel info early next week. Here we come, Mason!
This week we have been reminded of God's timing in everything. We'd been praying about what to do with my (nancy's) job after Mason came home. I thought about cutting back to even less hours or maybe even not working at all. I was having a hard time making that decision. Really, we knew what would be best for our family, but I wasn't quite ready to step down. I wasn't quite ready to say good-bye to my identity outside of the home; wasn't ready to say good-bye to the extra income it provided for us (which sounds crazy because it isn't even very much income!). I guess God could see the struggle I was having and HE made the decision for us! That decision was made for me, one day before getting travel approval. Coincidence? I think not. Now we can put our entire focus on our family & the changes to come! Thank you, God for hearing & answering our prayers!
Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord & he answered me & delivered me from all my fears.

Congratulations!! We wish you safe travels to your son and back home! Are you planning to post updates while traveling?
What awesome news! We are so excited for you! We have been praying for you and will continue to do so throughout this amazing journey! Safe travels!
I love how God works on every detail. He was surely preparing you--and when it was all set--he opened the doors wide open with peace and comfort for the decisions and journey ahead.
Can't wait to watch and pray--and eventually welcome little Masson home!

Congratulations on the adoption of your little boy from China! Both he and you are so blessed! Your friend Carrie Scheidel (I work with her) gave us the link to your blog. We've adopted twice from China ourselves, the last time less than a year ago. We are the happy and proud parents of both a boy and a girl. We know exactly how busy you are right now and how high the emotions are running! Best of luck in your travels and we'll be anxiously watching your blog for any updates.
Sincerely,
Max, Lisa, Olivia (Fu Chuan An), Isaiah (An Xin Bing) Christensen
