Our LOA came!!!

We can't believe it!!!!
Our "Letters Seeking Confirmation of Adopter" have arrived from China!
This is huge! This means they have reviewed our files, and we are good to go!
We have to sign these, send them back to our agency, and they send them back to China.
China needs these back so that they can issue our Travel Approval.
Once we have Travel Approval our agency can work on getting us our Consulate Appointment in China.

When we know the date of that our agency can determine the exact timing of everything that has to occur in China, and we can then book our tickets!!!

We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!

The expectation till travel is now.........5 to 8 weeks!!!!!!!!
Our little guys are 14mnths right now... that means they will be 15-16mnths when we finally get to meet them.
We really can't believe how quickly this occurred, we thought we would be travelling in June or July. Now it can be the end of April- some time in May!
We have a lot to do!!!!

Oh... and to make this day even more special, they came on my Grammy Br.'s 85th Birthday!
Happy Birthday Grammy!!!!!

Congratulations on your LOA! I know you are beyond excited. They are the more adorable 2 boys I have ever seen (well, of course, with the exception of my 2 boys!) Hopefully you'll get that TA quickly and you can be on your way to China!

Not to be nit-picky, but I noticed on your previous post that you said Henan has over a million people. That is a huge understatement. It actually has between 96-98 million people. The province is about to top 1 billion! Zhengzhou itself has 7 million people. Even tiny cities in China have over a million people. Go figure!
