Updated Timeline for Jade & Abram

It's very hard to tell how long until we can go get the rest of our family. Paperwork has been moving fast for some things and slow for others. Right now we still hope to travel before November, but expect to go in either December or January. This is later than we'd hoped, but all things happen in God's time. As with everything, we celebrate with the good news and endure the bad news and the waiting. We've sent additional paperwork in order to add him to our adoption. Right now we are pursuing Abram's Letter of Approval from China. At that point, we will be able to file paperwork for both kids together and have a better idea when we will travel.
