Starting the Journey

Hello all! I am setting up this blog, or at least trying to, so that everyone can keep track of where I am in the adoption process. Right now I am waiting for my Letter of Acceptance or LOA. All of my official paperwork is now in the hands of the Chinese Government and the ball is in their court. They will respond by sending me a LOA to sign and return to them. This is simply a paper that says China will proceed with the adoption if I agree. Well, OBVIOUSLY! Although waiting times vary quite a bit, it seems that right now other's at my agency are getting their LOAs around day 75 or so. Today is day 36 for me. Oh, the waiting!
