Travel Visas

Yep, we got them this week.  For those not aware, you need to apply to the Consulate of the People's Republic of China for permission to travel in their country.  The long and short of it is, you need this sticker in your passport. You cannot just show up, and it's not free. 

We hired a service: There's Always Hope to do the legwork for us. Denise Hope is an adoptive parent and provides visa and document authentication services.  She came highly recommended to us, and I also now highly recommend her.  She does other countries too, not just China.  Keep her in mind!

Please pray for our paperwork to be picked up on time next week so it can be filed with the China Center of Adoption Affairs to issue our LAST STEP.  The Travel Approval.  These have taking 7-21 days to be issued--here's to hoping for 7!!
