Our Adoption Journey, Step 8: LOA & Immigration Approval

We have made it! Last week we received our official letter of approval (LOA)! It has been a long journey, but the end is in sight. We still have a few steps to go, but the CCCWA has approved our adoption of little man.

What is the time frame? The next steps should take between between 8-11 weeks, until we travel. Right now, however, the averages are running a little faster and we expect to be in China at the end of July or the beginning of August.

What are the next steps? There are so many. So, so many. But, briefly, we are waiting on immigration. We need the US to approve Carter's immigration to become a US citizen. We need to get travel visas for ourselves for the adoption. Once it's received, we will send our immigration approval to the CCCWA and get approved for travel!

It's all so exciting and exhausting, but we're finally here!
