Guess What We Got?

The same day that our agency (Madison Adoption Associates, love them) called to tell us we got the update on Luke, they also shared the exciting news that Katie's LOA had arrived!

Our caseworker sent a message to their staff in China to check in and see if Luke's LOA was in the works.  The idea being that we would file the next paperwork for both kids at the same time after we got both letters.

Katie's LOA was issued 3/7, which was 51 days after LID.  Luke's LOA was issued 3/12 which was 8 days after PA.

And now they're both here!! The next step is to file the I800 (immigration) paperwork with USCIS.

From here until TA (travel approval, permission to come to China) is about 2 months, so we're expecting to travel in June.

We've received $385 toward our matching grant, and we have $615 to go!  If you're able to help, it's greatly appreciated!  Thank you!


Hang on, babies!  Mama is coming!

  2. Seeing that pic of Annaliese reminds me of another young lady I first met about 22 yrs ago. How time flies.
