Our baby girl’s Visa application is in China! It takes the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China (picture below) 2 weeks to review Tahlia’s visa app.(it was dropped off already), make sure it meets the qualifications for an immigrant visa, and then signs off that everything is in order for the adoption to be completed. This is called the Article 5 letter. THEN WE ARE JUST WAITING ON TRAVEL APPROVAL(TA) which can take 1-2 weeks(correction: it could take up to 4 weeks!! UGH! …SO PLEASE PRAY FOR SPEEDY TA) after Article 5! We are SO SO SO Close to embracing our baby girl!!
This puts us at around Thanksgiving to be getting our TA!! Then, it’s PLANE TICKET BOOKING TIME!!!! Praying to be able to leave and be home before Christmas!
Pictured above is the American Consulate in China, where are paperwork waits!

Congrats Johanna! So soon, you'll be embracing your sweet daughter and eating more rice than you can steam… LOL. Blessings and prayers!
