What a surprise!

Back in January, I wrote out a list of approvals we needed before we could travel to meet our new little sweetie. I also wrote down some estimated time frames each approval generally takes. Our Letter of Intent was sent 1/31/2013. I estimated our Letter of Acceptance (LOA) to be about the middle of April and travel sometime between July and September. After LOA, there is I800, Article 5, and travel approval

When I saw I missed a call from Holt this afternoon I thought perhaps they were looking for all of the paperwork that I was planning on going throught this past weekend. Turns out Holt was calling to tell me that they received our LOA! I could not believe how fast that arrived! Holt commented on how quick it arrived too.

Tonight I finished most of that paperwork that I was supposed to work on over the weekend. We will have a couple of papers notarized tomorrow, then we can send to Holt. Our LOA arrives tomorrow and I will work on the next step regarding I800.

The surprisingly fast turnaround means that travel may be sooner than I expected. We may actually travel as early as 3 months from now!! I can not believe it!! We may be in China in the middle of summer! Yay!
