Our Baby

2 years and counting......

The countdown begins....

The next step in our process is the LOA, or "Letter of Acceptance." This is the *official* approval from China. Once we have this, we can post our little girls photo here on our blog and share more information about her. The average wait from our *PA* to *LOA* is about 35 days. The shortest time reported recently has been 10 days. The longest is 199 days. Families that are considered *pre-Hague* have a slightly shorter wait time, as there are less steps in the whole process. Thank the Lord that we are still considered *pre-Hague.* Tomorrow will be day 10. Here's hoping that we stay on this side of the curve!

  2. Hello,
    Our daughter (waiting in Quangxi) has the same birthdate! Not sure how I started following your blog, but was glad to learn of your new daughter. We lost a referral too... But, we now have our Article 5 for our daughter Ming Huan, and hope to travel in 4-8 weeks. Blessings to you. Meryl Rose, Minnesota
