The Countdown Begins!


Our case worker from our agency called yesterday to let us know that our dossier is on its way to China. It should arrive on Friday. Early next week, it will be hand delivered to the Chinese government agency that processes all applications. The usual processing time is 12-17 weeks, but lately the CCAA has been processing them as fast as 10 weeks. We were told to hopefully expect 10-12 weeks. Then we will receive our LOC (Letter of Confirmation). We sign it, overnight it back to China, then wait for our TA (Travel Approval) to go get Max!!!!!!!!! If everything goes smoothly, then we could be traveling as early as mid-September. We were so excited to get the phone call yesterday. I have seriously been working not to think about when everything was going to get moving...I was just trying to be patient. So I was not expecting to hear from our case worker yesterday. What a joy it was when she told me, though.

Here are some pictures of Max from Children's Day. It was just celebrated in China. Just think, in 4 short months, he may be home with us!!!! We'll be celebrating EVERY DAY!
