Our loooonnnngggg awaited Letter of Acceptance (LOA) came today! YAY! This has been the longest 108 days of my life. (Well, I'd almost forgotten about the first 4 months of pregnancy...) Anyway, we are thrilled and relieved to have finally received this. Our Case Manager says we should get Travel Approval in 2-4 weeks and then travel 3-4 weeks after that. So, hopefully, we are looking at mid-July to go and get our girl. Please pray that all goes smoothly for us from here on out. It has been a long and winding road! But God can bless a broken road!

  1. Dawn & Stephen, We're so happy for you and very excited to meet Kate. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you in the upcoming weeks. We can watch Sam if you need a sitter!

  2. Congratulations!

    Your daughter is beautiful. We'll pray that you get a quick TA and can bring her home soon.

  3. Dawn -
    Couldn't find your email on your blog, but wanted to wish you a safe journey to Guangzhou to bring home Kate!

    Six Degrees of Separation: Helen Combs and Martha McConnell have kept me posted, so I called your MIL today to get more details (I'm their travel agent).

    We returned from China 2 years ago with Laurel, who was 3.5 at the time (and SN). Also have a daughter one year older, Maya. Her birthday is 7/17, so I'll be thinking of you guys and following your blog closely.

    Just wanted to introduce myself. More to say, but will keep it brief in this comment section.
