This is the treasured piece of paper we have been awaiting. It is an official document from China asking if we really want to adopt Zheng Li Wei. OF COURSE WE DO !!! We received a call from our agency July 8, saying they had it. They overnighted it to us and we signed it and overnighted it back.
The next paper we need is TA - approval to travel and pick up the child. We can leave anytime after it arrives, but that could be 2 weeks or 6 weeks so we are not supposed to book our flights until we have it. We (Jerry Catherine and Ric)will each have 6 passport pix taken on Monday and send them with our passports to a courier who will hand deliver them to the Chinese Embassy and return it all with our visas (permission from China to come to their country).
This is crunch time. The time to get everything ready in the house, assemble clothes toys snacks etc for the suitcases and be ready for the call. I aleady have some adorable matching outfits for Ric and Andy. Yesterday I got them Car PJs..there will be lots of photo opps in China.. (okay I know they aren't girls but they can still be cute, right?)

Last year we added two more children to our family ! We brought home Dominic, the little boy we first met when visiting Cheryl in 2006 in Yunnan and also Rosemary, a little girl who lived in Guangxi. Nellie, Rosie and Dominic will soon turn 12 so we have virtual triplets and Andy ,9.
We have had such fun with our new kids, that we are going to China for a fourth time! This year we will bring home two boys ages ten and eleven, who will fit nicely (we hope) in the middle of our kids. They currently live in Xi'an,Shaanxi and Shehezi, Xinjiang. I thought we went traipsing all over China the other times we were there, but those trips will totally pale next to the amount of country we will cover this time. I know Someone must be laughing at the way He is stretching this 'reluctant traveler'.

About Us
- Wright Family
- 2014-Jerry and I have been married 38 years. We are currently parents of 15, and soon to be 17, children. The first 8 are self supporting adults :) with only Ariel , the youngest of our first nine, still in college and living at home. After raising our first 9 children we thought we were finished until God took us on a serendipitous adventure that led to the adoption of 6 more children, 5 from China. That story is covered at andyweiwwright.blogspot.com .
