IT'S HERE!!!
Our LOA (letter of acceptance) has finally arrived! This is the official letter from China recognizing the adoption of our girl. We can now can move forward to actually bring her home. It has been the longest 120 days of our life. All I can say is that Grandma didn't waste any time getting things moving! Thank you, Grandma!
Since the LOA arrival earlier this week, we have filed the immigration to the US and started visa paperwork. For the first time, we filed paperwork with her new name as a Roark! Our agency tells us to expect to travel in 10-14 weeks. That's mid-September to early October! While that sounds like a long time on one hand, it's actually short when we consider how much we need to do to get ready and still go to work!

To make our week even better, we received an update! We received measurements from last week, a development report, likes/dislikes, etc. And new pictures! Our baby girl is beautiful, growing well and mischievous. We can't wait to meet her!

ReplyDeleteHi Mr. & Mrs. Roark! I'm Eds, a nurse assigned in the unit of New Hope Foundation(www.hopefosterhome.com)/Show Hope (www.showhope.org) in Zhengzhou where she stayed for almost 10 mos. before she was transferred to foster care. She was admitted in our care when she was 1 1/2 mos old and we named her Micaela. We're so glad knowing that she already has a forever family of her own. Hope you can visit our humble place with your daughter. God bless your family!:)
