Chelsea's Help International

Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to: CHI PO BOX 2633 Ruston, LA 71272. We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.

We are still waiting on Travel Approval:(  I talked to our agency today and the 6th is definitely out.  As long as we receive TA in the next week or two we should be able to go on the 27th.  Ugh!  We really wanted her home for Christmas but  I guess that is not in the plans.  Please pray for TA to get here so we can leave on the 27th!!!!  Thanks

Just an update.......We should have Article 5 pick up on the 13th and then we wait for our Travel Approval to arrive from CCCWA.  We could wait a week, 2 weeks, who knows.  It seems like people are receiving them faster right now, so we will keep our fingers crossed.  Once we have Travel Approval we have to get a Consulate Appointment.  I found out from our agency that there are only two dates to depart in December and they are the 6th and 27th.  Very frustrating!  

Last year when I was cleaning up the Christmas decorations, I left out a tree to remind myself that she would be here for Christmas 2012.  We added her picture and a picture of the boys beside the tree after we received our LOA in September.  We are praying hard that we can go get her before the end of the year.  Any prayers you want to send are welcome.

 I'll update again next week.  The time is getting near!!

Chelsea's bed is finished!  I hope she loves it and has sweet, sweet dreams in it.  Mom is putting her monogram on her sham and I need to work on accessories, curtains, and paint the dresser.  Plenty to do to keep me busy while we WAIT!  


Last night was Halloween.  Graham & Neal stayed home to hand out candy while Cayden went with a friend around the neighborhood trick-or-treating, while I painted the bed.  Here is a pic of Cayden ready to go...


Next year we will have one more trick-or-treater.  I wonder what she will choose to dress up as?......
