Travel Phase!!!

We are now in the 'Travel Phase' of the adoption! I received an email today from the travel person at our agency and we may be going to China in late April instead of May! Next step is filling out Visa paperwork, and making sure everything is in order. I'm so over paperwork!

We're waiting for updated measurements on Yue Lu so I can send her a new outfit with her care package. Our agency said the orphanages do a good job of preparing the children for the adoption. I can't imagine what an almost 5 year old must be thinking or feeling, or how they can grasp that their whole world is about to change. I pray she is doing okay.

We received LOA (Letter of Acceptance)!!!

I was taken by complete surprise today when Brad got the call at work notifying us that we received LOA!!! I just said to Brad last night that I felt we would be hearing something soon, but I was thinking more like another week or two! This is awesome...only 26 days from our Pre-Approval. We were told that we should be traveling around the beginning of May! :)
