U.S. Immigration says "YES"

I-800A Approval Notice Dated 07/18/14 - Received in the mail on 07/19/14

Kalyn,

Baby steps…one week at a time…YOU ARE WORTH EVERY MOMENT WAITING! Just as if I am carrying you in my womb, Kalyn, I yearn to hold you. Guess what? On Friday July 18th the U.S.A. approved mommy and daddy to adopt you and bring you home! We cannot wait to share our lives with you and love you to the end of the earth. 

Always thinking of you, Mommy

 {For those moms out there; waiting on THIS Approval Notice to arrive from the Department of Homeland Security has felt like waiting for the results of a “glucose test!” We filled out the forms and had our finger prints taken then had to WAIT for approval – you consumed a sugar drink, WAITED, then had your blood tested and WAITED for results. During that one or three hour glucose test you were probably nervous…anxious…and thinking will it be negative…will it be positive? When you hear “it’s negative and you are free to go” you feel a sense of immediate relief and think YEAH! That is what I felt when we got the OFFICIAL approval notice in the mail today. AMEN!!!!}

  Now onto bigger things…the Approval Notice was the last document to include in our STACK of documents (aka. Dossier) that will now be authenticated and prepared for CHINA. All foreign (U.S.) documents must be authenticated for use in China. This step confirms contents and validity of the issuing authorities. Once all documents are authenticated we will official have our Dossier sent to China (DTC). We will receive a Log In Date (LID) and then a notification when our Dossier is Out of Translation (OOT). We will wait the longest during the Review process and Review of our Match to Kalyn. Then we will receive an official Letter of Approval (LOA); generally 2-4 months. Wow! Those are a lot of little steps, but believe me they are pretty important steps in adoption world. Please PRAY especially for patience while we WAIT. It will be the hardest on me as mommy…because I must come to terms that now it is completely out of my hands and into the powers at be in China to make the next moves.
