LOA!!!
SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS! LOA, LOA, LOA, LOA!!!
LOA BABY!! We're coming Luk.
For everyone tracking...51 days for LOA. We'll see the date stamped when we get it. I don't know how many days it took to get to Canada and then from the Ministry to our agency, the official number will be lower.
Sunrise just called Luk's LOA (Letter of Acceptance) is in their office, going courier to us today. Hoping we'll have it tomorrow and then we can sign it and send it back to Sunrise before the weekend and they'll send it to the Ministry in Victoria and from there back to China. In the past we've signed and hand delivered to Victoria to save time, but CCWA is closed all next week so there is no major rush.
The LOA is where we started with the girls. It was a part of the referral. This is the major difference between non special needs adoption with China and special needs adoption with China. Right now is where we're used to starting. Typically it's five to eight weeks to travel after LOA. We're not with a group and will travel on our own, so still NO clue when we'll go. Next we wait for travel approval, TA. This is the document we take to China and hand over when Luk is placed with us.
Such a relief to get to this point. Luk is ours. Not much can go wrong at this point. I'm going to sleep soooooo great tonight.
