We finally got our LOA! For those who are wondering, "What the heck is an LOA?" , allow me to enlighten you. LOA stands for "letter of acceptance" which is the colloquial name for a letter sent by the CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs). It basically asks us if we are sure we want to go through with our adoption...(duh!) Once we sign it and send it back, we will be issued our TA (travel approval), and we can travel as soon as a consulate appointment and airline tickets can be found. Hopefully, our TA will show up within 3 weeks or so.
Anyway, our LOA arrived on Monday. We are on vacation in Florida right now, visiting my sister, so our agency sent it via FedEX to her house. The FedEx man must have wondered why I ran out of the house, smiling and waving! He waited for Marc and I to sign it, I popped it into my prepared-in-advance FedEx envelope, and off it went.
Perhaps even more exciting than our LOA is the update we got from China about Josiah. Our wonderful agency had their China liasion visit the Wuhan CWI and took a video of Josiah and 2 other kids waiting for their families as well! I will try to post a link to the video if I can figure out how to do it. We also got 2 new photos of our boy. Check out his pink sandals! Here's the video:
