We received our log-in-date from China yesterday. It was great to be one step closer to being able to get Leah. We still have a few more steps to complete but we're moving downhill. For those of you who are not familiar with the adoption process I will outline the rest of the steps:
I. Get official Letter of Acceptance. (Typically 2-4 months after the Log In Date ).
II. 1800 Approval. This is a petition to classify the adoptee as a relative. ( 2-3 weeks).
III. NVC Cable- Approval for Visa. (1-2 weeks).
IV. Article 5- Official custody paperwork for US Embassy. (2 weeks)
V. Travel approval- (2-5 weeks)
VI. Travel (2-4 weeks after travel approval).
As with many adoptions, the process can go faster or slower. Of course we are hoping for faster, but realize that we will be traveling to get Leah according to God's timing not our own!
