Caleb Jonathon Update

We received an update on Caleb today. Apparently, he is an active, healthy boy who loves to spend time looking at picture books and listening to music. He has some speech delay because of his cleft palate but is otherwise a health and happy 2 year old boy. The journey has been trying but has almost come full circle since the day we began this process; and by the way alot faster than we expected. We are truly blessed that God has given us another child and feel honored that he trusts us enough to bring Caleb into our lives. We look forward to "Gotcha" Day when all 5 of us can begin our life long journey together.

The time has come

The months of waiting have paid off and now the time has come to start to prepare for our trip to China. As of yesterday, we received our letter of approval for our son, Wu Lang. So I am happy to say that we are one step closer to the day we pick up our beloved son, Caleb Jonathon Bastian. In all the excitement, I see that we have more paperwork to fill out. Who would have known. We eagerly wait for our travel arrangements which should be here in the next 4 to 6 weeks. We anticipate traveling to China the last part of March or the first part of April.
