I SHOULD BE BALD

I have been pulling my hair out waiting for this Letter of Acceptance!

I know many of you have listened to me whine that I need "that piece of paper"!! Well, it is here!!

Thankfully, I still have my artificially colored head of blond hair in tact.
But more thankfully, We Have our LOA!!!

The LOA is a the formal letter from the Chinese Adoption Authority that says we are, in fact, Danielle's parents. We will received it overnight from our agency tomorrow.
We sign this commitment letter, send it back to our agency and immediately send a copy to the US Immigration department along with our I800 application in order to start the process of getting Danielle's U.S. visa and citizenship. If all goes smoothly, we should have our travel approval in about 2 months and then we leave to go get her!!

The kids came up with these LOA ideas! They are so happy to know we are moving so much closer!
