The holidays just got a bit sweeter!!!!

BECAUSE........

Today we got our LOA!!!!!!

So what does this mean?!?!? 

Well it means he is ours.  We are approved and they accepted us and did an "official" match with him. 

It means we get to show you this..............The 1st picture of him we saw that we fell in love with

This is our Caleb Aaron Hao

What happens next????  We file our I800 with the US gov't.  We first will receive a receipt in 1-3 wks, then the I800 provisional approval notice in another 1-3 wks after that.  Finally the letter from the National Visa Center 1-2 wks after that.  This gives us approval for Caleb's visa.  Once we get this letter our agency's representative in Guangzhou will take this along with other papers for us to the US Consulate where they will process the Article 5.  The article takes 10 business days to process.  On the 10th business day, the rep. will express mail the Article 5 to the CCCWA and then we will receive the Travel Notice usually in 2--5 wks......WOW.....did you get all that?!?!?

So what is means is we should expect to travel in about 3 months!

Ok now it seems real......

So here is what all you have been waiting for....some updated pictures.....

Man do I love that smile.  I can not wait to hold him and see that smile every day. 

Hold on Caleb!!!  We are coming!!!!!
