Ricky - Mommy is coming to get you!!!

Today we got our Letter of Acceptance, which means China has officially said "Yes" to us. We made it through review and match. Bill was a bit nervous -- thinking something would go wrong. We should officially receive it by FedEx tomorrow. We have to sign it and send it back. CCAI sends it to China then we wait for our Travel Approval. This takes anywhere between 2-3 weeks.

At that point, we get a US consulate appointment in Guangzhou to get Ricky's Visa. This appointment typically happens on day 14 or 15. So for example, if we get a January 4th appointment, you have to subtract 14 days from there. So we could be leaving for China before the end of the year and spend New Years in China with our new son as a new family. How neat is that?!?! ' Everything depends on the Consulate appointment. So we shall see!

This would also be a good time for Emily as she is on vacation from school so maybe she won't miss that much.
