Article 5

Our article 5 has been picked up from the US consulate in China. We now wait for our TA, which I think could be here in 3 or 4 weeks. There is so much to do. And still so much money to come up with. I am getting a little nervous......but very excited! I can't believe we are finally getting there. Michael and I were talking tonight, planning, as best we can, and I said the next time you return home from work is more than likely the last time you will be home before I go to China to bring Frankie home. Whheewwww. That put it into perspective. And then the butterflies started.  I have a lot to do!!! I wish so much he could know how close we are to coming. We don't know how long ago he was told about us, but we found out he knew this past July. So that is a very long time ago.  In about a month we will be at the one year mark from when we started. I just hope he is not getting upset with us because it takes so long.  And I really hope he hasn't given up that we are coming. I can't imagine how long this must feel like to a child. The children are getting so excited. They are telling everyone at school and planning for Frankie's home coming.
