Another Step....

On the adoption end of things, we made another step in the process.
Our I800 approval was "cabled" to China on 7/2. We are now officially waiting for the "Article 5" step. This step will take 2 weeks.

After we receive the article 5, we are in the homestretch, waiting for China to invite us to trave(TA).

The average time from article 5 to TA is about 2-4 weeks.

So, we are hoping in 5 weeks, we'll know when we'll be going to China.

After we receive the TA, our agency will make an appointment with the consulate (CA) & get us to China as quickly as possible. It could be 2-4 weeks to travel after TA.


Are you confused yet???


Neil describes it as a huge hill to climb, we've been at the bottom of it for so long, waiting, then climbing it, with all of the paperwork, reaching the top, finally we're on the downward slope of things & can see the bottom. Almost there.....



I took this photo this morning, don't let the white one fool you, he's a ball of energy!
