Holy cr@p, LOA!

You think I was excited last week when we got our PA? Well, you should see me now! We got our Letter of Acceptance today. We got it in pretty much record time. Most families in our position have waited around 40ish days; we waited 28!

LOA is a big, BIG deal. It means (1) we are officially approved to adopt ZhiYi, and (2) we will travel soon and need to start getting ready. Unfortunately, Chinese New Year will probably delay our travel by a couple weeks. It's just impossible to travel in China during that week, and our guides will of course want to be home with their families, not shepherding us around. If everything follows a typical timeline, our most likely departure date will be in mid-February.

Get ready baby, here we come!!!
