hard copy LOA!! what IS next?

YES….on 4/2/14 …We officially had our LOA (Letter of Approval) from China In our hands!

We had waited all morning for our FedEx truck and when he finally came, we nearly knocked him over (well, Ashy did) to get our LOA! He seemed to know we were excited and was excited with us!

People, let me tell you….this is probably one of the most precious pieces of paper China ever did produce!!! THIS paper represents a MOUNTAIN that GOD MOVED for us!

THE most prayed over piece of paper in the whole adoption process! So, we got to kiss it, praise God for it, take pictures of it, and sign it!

Then, It went Right back to the agency (signed) who will turn around and overnight it to U.S. Immigration, along with an application (I800) requesting that our Gianna be approved for citizenship in the United States. We should receive that approval in about 2 weeks. Once Immigration grants approval, they send everything to the National Visa Center who turns around and cables the approval to the Visa Center in China.
Next, we have to get all our visas.
Then comes a few other small steps which I will keep you posted on as they happen, but the final step is TA (travel Approval) which should come in no more than 2 months!
WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!

God willing, we will be on a plane in the beginning of June!!!!!!!!! GOD CAN DO THIS!!!!
