Getting closer

We are getting very close to traveling to get Aleah.  We were told today that our travel approval arrived from China.  Now that our agency has that, they can make an appointment at the American consulate in Guangzhou for us and once we have the appointment we can make plane reservations.  We are really hoping to be able to leave on November 7 and be back home about November 21 or 22 but November 14th would be okay too.  If we don't get either of those days we can't leave until December 5th.  Just praying for God's perfect timing.  I have so much to do before we go that it is a bit overwhelming.  I got an update on Aleah and they say that she is very happy to have a family.  I asked her a few questions about herself and found out that she prefers dresses over pants and would like to take dance class.  Her favorite colors are red, white and black.  She is about the same size as Alaina but maybe a little taller and thinner if their measurements were accurate.  Here are the latest pictures.
