After 4 extremely long weeks, we heard from our agency today that China has mailed the Travel Approvals! Cue the music, and let’s get this party started! lol…
We were initially told that our wait for TA (this is China’s official “yes, you may come and get your kiddo” approval) would be 2-3 weeks after our Article 5 was picked up. Three weeks came and went and with each additional day, the wait grew more grueling.
But, with the news that TAs are coming in, I’m a new woman :) They should be here by the end of this week / beginning of next. Which means, we should hear next week the EXACT day that we’ll meet Dylan. And, of course learn our travel dates.
Yep, it’s real folks. We are going to China! And, we’ll have Dylan within a year of seeing his precious little face back on December 23, 2009.
We’re almost there.
