We're approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just recieved an email from our USCIS agent telling me the following:


Good morning.

Your I-800A application was reviewed and approved on May 12. It was put in the mail that day so you should be getting it any time now.
Congratulations!

It's official, we are on our way. Now, as soon as it gets here in the mail, I will be walking it, along with the rest of our paperwork, into the Utah Secretary of State's office for certification. Then, pack it all up and send it to Washington DC to the U.S. Secretary of State office for their authentication, and then, onto the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC for final authentication.

At that point we will need to know who we are using for our placing agency, as they will need to send it onto Beijing, China to the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) office to be logged in (LID) and then reviewed for their approval of our adoption of a special needs child. Yes, another wait. Probably shorter than the last one though, I hope.
