We finally got some updated information on Ava. An organization called LadyBugs in Love contacted the orphanage to ask ten questions and to try and get some pictures.

We wish that we could have gotten some pictures, but hopefully they are coming soon. It was just fantastic to get some new information on her. We still wait for our travel approval, and expect to get it any day. It has been three weeks since our LOA came, so we are on pins and needles. More updates to come soon.
