My husband spoke to CCAI today and they
told him they do not know why ours and
other families paperwork is being held up at the
U.S. Embassy in China.
They advised him that they sent out an
email today to China requesting the hold up.
More to follow.

Well still no news on our TA, but
we did receive a picture from another
family who adopted from PHF.
We sure did need a pick me up.
Our agency told us it could be another
couple of weeks before TA due to we
are a hague family, meaning we had to
complete a little more paperwork and
wait a little longer then families that
are not under the hague guidelines.
God has a funny sense of humor sometimes.

Today we received our I800A provisional approval
from homeland security.
Our agency had also received a copy.
We sent them our DS230 form and they were sending
out our paperwork to Guanzhou.
Now we wait for China to give us travel approval.
CCAI told us it could take up to two weeks for China
to get back to them.
We sit and wait again.

agency advising us that they received our
L.O.A. !

China to get our son J.T.
the agency told us that we should expect to travel
within six to nine weeks.

Family Aprons

The girls and I have been working on
making family aprons for those who
have adopted from China.
They have the english and mandrin name on them.
The girls love picking the different color
embroidery threads.
