I don't have any brain power left tonight to come up with a more creative post, so I will just say that I received my Letter of Acceptance/Letter Seeking Confirmation of Adopter today!
In less fancy terms, China officially approved me to adopt and officially approved me to adopt Ella!
The wait for my LOA was longer than I was expecting, if I am being perfectly honest. I thought I would have it before the end of June. So when the end of June began approaching and the wait was looming on, and I was being told it might be August before I received my LOA...it was hard. Waiting is hard. But the beauty of waiting is that just like *that*, it's over. Late last week I received word that my agency was expecting my LOA in the next 1-2 weeks. I was expecting it tomorrow, to be honest, so I was pleasantly surprised (delighted, thrilled, overjoyed) when I got the email TODAY that it was here!
It has been signed (saying I accept Ella's referral) and sent back to my agency. They will then file more immigration paperwork on my behalf.
On to the next step!
The question everyone asks is "When will you travel?" The estimate is within 10-14 weeks. I am hoping for a little sooner, but obviously I will be very pleased if I travel in three months. That's sooner than you'd think!
I'm so happy, and my head is still spinning!
