Two Days Later...

It has been two days since we heard our good news, and I have to say that we are still in SHOCK! You'd think, after four years of waiting, that we would be fully prepared for this, right?!

Here's what happens next:

1. We have medical people look over the information we've been given from China. (The information is in Chinese, and we are expecting to get a translation in a few days.)

2. We sign and return the official document to our agency, saying that we accept this child.

3. Our agency sends our acceptance letter to China. CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs) processes our paperwork and sends everything to Hubei Province, where our daugther currently lives.

4. A Permission to Travel is issued to us by the Chinese government.

5. As soon as the Permission to Travel is received, our agency makes an appointment for us with the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China. Once this date is made, travel plans can be made and flights booked.

So, basically, we WAIT some more. That's okay...at least now, we have her picture to keep us focused on the positive!
