Meet Maya...

We got an early Christmas present in the mail today.  our I800 form has been approved, and we're so incredibly happy to introduce you to our newest daughter and sister, Maya...

I'm so proud to be able to share these pictures with you.  This approval was the last little bit of 'official-ness' we were waiting on, so now our dossier can be sent to Bulgaria.  Once its translated and approved there, we'll wait for our invitation to travel.

So that's it.  We wait.  Our thinking now is that we'll travel in February.  Things have moved much faster than we anticipated, but that's definitely a good thing.  She's waiting on us, and we want to go get her...like, YESTERDAY!

Of course, this first travel experience will only entail us meeting her and spending a few days with her.  Then we'll have to return back to the US to finalize everything before we travel once more to actually bring her home.

We're so very excited.  Thank you so much for continuing to pray for us as we walk this road. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Love,

Paige
