I got a call at the end of the day informing me that my adoption has been approved. I have waited 72 days for this letter (known as the LOA). I was jumping for joy when the China team told me that I would be traveling to pick up Yi Mei in June.
There are two travel groups leaving in June: June 6th and June 24th. Of course, I want to leave with the June 6th group so that I can spend the majority of my summer break with Yi Mei. The agency said I would most likely be traveling with the latter group, as the paperwork leading to immigration approval can take up to 12 weeks. I am still holding out for the earlier date, as I know that I have many friends praying and all things are possible with God.
It is celebration time and I am going to celebrate by getting a pedicure with my friends. I am also going to write a letter to Yi Mei this week and send her something special.
Here is what the LOA looks like:
Hi. I got your email so I came right over to the blog to share some comment love. I am soooo happy for you. VERY exciting news. We are still waiting, we are on day 55 for LOA. The agency tells me LOA's were held up due to a move of an office location so we may have to wait 90 or more days...but I will keep praying and hoping while I wait. I will also be praying that you get the earliest travel date possible!!!!!!
