FINALLY!!!
Our agency says that they are requesting a CA (Consulate Appointment) so that we would travel July 29,2010. Here are our stats, and a description of what they are:
6/1/2007 LID (Logged into China adoption System)-
Waiting waiting and more waiting.....
4/13/2010 SN (Special Needs) checklist received by our agency
4/21/2010 Referral - we saw her little face for the first time
4/23/2010 LOI (Letter of Intent)- we wrote China saying we were interested in Dengfen, in essence saying "YES!"
5/5/2010 PA (We receive Pre-Approval from CCAA, Dengfen is placed "on hold")
5/24/2010 LOA (We receive Letter of Approval from CCAA making it official- Dengfen is removed from the waiting list)
6/29/2010 TA (We receive official permission form the country of China that we may travel there).
Our agency is requesting a CA probably for 8/9/10 (my guess...) that's a pretty cool date, 8/9/10. And if we do go on 7/27/10, that would mean that we would have her in our arms for the first time on our 18th wedding Anniversary...how cool is that?!
I have been in bed (literally in bed) since Sunday night with a terrible sore throat. I have NEVER felt this much pain in my throat. It felt like it was on fire, for 2 days. I guess maybe the Lord was once again preparing me, after all this little girl will have tremendous pain after her palate surgery, probably worse than what I have felt. But I am saddened to know a little bit of what she will go through. It will be for the good, I know and you know, but she will have to be the one to go through it, and I am not looking forward to that...
Congratulations on your TA! One more hurdle cleared! Departure date is becoming more solid! Yippee! If you do receive Dengfen on your anniversary, it is just one more reminder that God's timing is always PERFECT! Feel better!
