NI Hao! (HELLO IN CHINESE) Just a real quick update and I promise when I actually get time I will upload some pics of the family and such. But, Wed. June 13th, I was feeling sad and blue about the Chinese adoption process and the length. When to my surprise I got a blessing in the mail. At first I couldn't believe it. I looked over the envelope and then opened it. Then I read the letter and kept looking for it to say that I did something wrong with the paperwork. I couldn't believe my eyes.It is referred to as "THE GOLDEN TICKET". The I-171h, which is the approval of the United States Government to bring a orphan (OUR DAUGHTER) to our country and adopt her. Can I say THANK YOU GOD! He truly knew what I needed. I was completely surprised, because normally it can take a LONG time to get this approval. Our approval was done VERY RAPIDLY! Thank you JESUS! So, today we went to the Clerk of courts and the State dept and got everything certified and such. Then, I went to the post office and overnighter all the paperwork to the Chinese Consulate in NYC. Hopefully, I will get all of my paperwork back in a week or so and then forward it to our Adoption agency in Colorado. Our agency is called Chinese Children Adoption International (CCAI). Then we will be officially Locked in (LID) at the CCAA. The CCAA is the agency in China that matches you and refers you with your child. So, until I get more time to upgrade pictures and stuff....Ti Jin (Goodbye in Chinese).
