We have our LOA!!!!

We just received our LOA. This means we are approved to adopt Little Miss. One HUGE step forward. Now to finish paperwork and get our travel approval. Praying to travel late Sept but probably in October. We're coming soon my little peanut! We're coming soon!

LOA....Still MIA

Well, we have had our dossier in China since May. We know we have a DTC of 5/9 and a LID of 5/21. We also know that our dossier has been OOT since the week of 6/9. And now what? We are still waiting. UGH!

We have been LID for 60 days now. 60 days of waiting. 60 days closer but still 60 days. Most LOAs have been coming around 60-70 days so hopefully we will be coming soon.

This wait has been the hardest one so far. It is similar to the wait we had inbetween trips to get Colby. I've done all the paperwork, we've met all the requirements and now we wait. We wait for someone in China to say OK, all set. We wait for our dossier to be approved. Then we can get the last paper to the US to approve bringing home our Little Miss and then we get travel approval. After we get that elusive LOA we will have about 2 months before we travel. So if we get it soon, we could possibly travel in September but more likely October. That also means waiting through the week long holiday in China the first week in October and traveling through Guangzhou during the "Trade Fair". It should be an exciting time but a little more costly to stay. UGH!

So, your continued prayers for that elusive LOA to show up. I did see 3 ladybugs on our mini vacation to New Hampshire. So, hoping they brought us good luck.
