It's official!!!!!!!!!!!


Yesterday we got "the call", the one we've been waiting for since starting this whole process last August. Our agency, Heritage, called us and said they had received our Letter of Acceptance from the Chinese government! It basically means "OK, you guys are approved to adopt this little girl"... We are honored, estatic, impatient, in love, etc the list goes on! So this morning, as we were getting ready to leave for Ian's Pre-K graduation, the FedEx man pulled into the driveway, not knowing what he was about to get himself into!!! LOL Ian came out with me and I told the driver that we wanted his picture with Ian and the envelope because it was holding important adoption documents.... Poor guy was so confused, that he pointed at Ian and said "His adoption?" We explained everything and he thought it was great and waved goodbye! The LOA is already headed back to our agency which will get put with 4 other families LOAs and head off to China. The next step is to wait for our Travel Approval (TA). We are hopeful that it will show up within the next 2-4 weeks, then we can actually jump on a plane. The best case senario is that we can travel in mid-June, the worst case senario is that we will have to wait until after the Olympics to travel, so not until the end of August.... Please pray that it is sooner, not later!!
