August 18 we unexpectedly received our "travel approval." (After China has received our letter saying we will accept our child, we await an" invitation" from them to bring her her home.) We were surprised to hear so soon, and now we await an appointment with the American Consulate in Guangzhou, China. We should hear anytime. At that point, we will have a definite travel date - right now we are planning to leave September 4, 5, or 6!!!
Also, a kind woman visited Tian's orphanage at the end of July and met a few of the children there. One just happened to be our soon to be daughter!!! We are VERY lucky as the other pictures were from April and most people do not receive any pictures other than the "old" ones sent from China. She looks healthy right down to the dimples on her hands :o)

Turner Family - that's so awesome that you have your TA so quickly! We pray that you'll soon know the date of your consulate appointment & will be on your way to bring your beautiful daughter home. We're looking forward to following your journey on your site!
