This is the province in China where our little girl is currently living.
I finally sent the agency an e-mail yesterday just asking average wait times for LOA(letter of acceptance from China) to arrive. We are on day 92 right now of waiting for our LOA! I was kind-of feeling forgotten about. For those of you that don't know what the LOA is....just know we can't move forward with this adoption until we receive it. We had just gone a long time without hearing anything from anyone, that I just wanted to touch base with someone at Holt (our agency) to make sure in fact that someone hadn't misplaced our paperwork and that things would be moving forward soon :-) She reassured me that our papers would be coming any day. That was my first e-mail (whining about the wait)....I think I did pretty good! It was so hard to go through the holidays without our Cora. It was also hard not to have an answer for our family when they asked when she would be coming home. That all being said........
I got an exciting call today. Our agency called to let us know that our LOA had arrived! They will be fedexing it overnight to us. So it will be in our hands tomorrow! Finally we can move forward!
Here is a picture of our sweet girl! Can't wait to get my hands on her!

She told us it obviously depends on processing times, but she estimated that we would be traveling to China in mid March. (Because yes....there is more paperwork to be filed before we can go.) I wish it were sooner, but I am so excited/relieved that we finally have a time frame to expect. My baby girl will be in my arms in about 2 and a half to 3 months!
I hope everyone is having as great a day as I am!
Love,
Katie
