LOA... Y-E-S!!!

After 81 days (but who's counting) of waiting since our Provisional Approval, we got the phone call at 5:05pm today with news of our Letter of Acceptance (LOA)!!!  In simple terms, this means that our translated Dossier was reviewed and accepted by the CCCWA, and China has officially approved our adoption.  The best part about this is that the unpredictable/unknown waiting time of this step is over.  We've seen some families having to wait as long as 130 days, so we're very thankful we didn't have to wait any longer.

This LOA was the last document required so that we could overnight our I-800 form to the USCIS (which we hurried up and did before UPS closed at 7:00pm tonight).  Another large stack of paperwork has left the Adolphs' home!  With today's wonderful news, it now looks very likely that we'll travel to China in July to get our little girl!

For those of you wondering "what now?", see the end of our prior blog post for a list of our next steps. :-)
