Much Closer Now....

All of a sudden, our latest adoption journey has been put "on the front burner".

We had been waiting for a document to arrive from the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA), called a "Letter Seeking Confirmation". (This document essentially says that the CCAA has reviewed all the papers we sent and everything is good with them.) Our dossier had been "logged in" at the CCAA on 5/20/08 and most familes had been receving their "Letter Seeking Confirmation" somewhere between 2 and 3 months after their dossiers had been accepted. Well...on 7/24/08, our adoption agency received our LSC from the CCAA. It was sent "overnight" to us, we signed it (telling them that we really, really did want to adopt Jin Xin :) and "overnighted" it back.

Now, we wait to get travel approval (usually about 4 weeks) and then we can make official travel plans. So...mid-September is a definite possibility and suddenly we are once again contemplating our international travel "packing lists".
