Guess what came to our in-box today! PA baby! :) (PA = online pre-approval) It is so hard to wait for these little baby steps now that we have our son's picture. This process is so different from our first adoption. After we saw Hope's picture for the first time, we had to wait just a month to have her in our arms. It will be 4, 5, maybe 6 months before we get to bring our son home. So, while I'm so so so happy to have his sweet smile to keep me company through a couple of snapshots, I think time is going to seem to pass slowly for a while. Anyway, here is the news:
The CCCWA agrees to "handle and process" our case. hmmm - I realize this is not the final approval. We need to have that signed LOA (Letter of Acceptance, a.k.a. Letter Seeking Confirmation from Adopter) in our hands to make all of this official. However, with each baby step, I can feel the weight lifting. CR says it could be 4-12 weeks before we see this arrive.
We've also been advised to keep our news somewhat private until the official LOA is signed and returned to China. Although it seldom happens after the PA has been received, things could still change at this point. C'mon LOA! I'm not so great at keeping secrets.

We will be praying for you over the next months. I have a friend that lives in Hudson using Cross Roads and will be travelling in the next few months also. I'll message the 2 of you on FB so you can connect.
You are WAY WAY better at keeping secrets than I am! Congratulations again! Let us know if you need anything in the coming months. I have to admit, i'd love to be packing for China one more time myself!
