Today came with great news. The Guangzhou staff of our adoption agency has picked up our Article 5 and mailed it to Beijing so it can be delivered to the CCAA. This is our preliminary approval of our immigration file by the US Consulate and is required by the CCAA in order to issue our travel approval.
This is a huge milestone because now we just wait for our TA (Travel Approval). This can take 2-4 weeks. Chinese New Year begins January 22 and China is shut down for a week, so we are praying we get our TA before then so we can have our travel dates set and can begin planning for our travel to get our daughter. As soon as we get our travel approval our agency can request a Consulate appointment and we can receive confirmed travel dates for our family's trip to CHINA!
i bet you'll get it right before they close! with travel in early feb! woohoo! so now just distract yourself for the next 3 weeks--:)
