I prayed today that we would receive our I-800a approval, and felt the disappointment when I opened the mailbox and realized it hadn't come, though I trusted that things are going along in His time, if not in mine.
Imagine my surprise when I checked my email this afternoon and had an email from our agency - the approval letter had been sent to them (apparently a copy is sent to us and to them) and it arrived today!
They will be sending it to be certified and authenticated, which sounds like it will take a couple of weeks, and then at long last we will be DTC:
DOSSIER TO CHINA!
This is a huge step and means we will be beginning our wait for LOA (Letter of Acceptance) which is basically China saying officially that they approve us to adopt Hannah! After LOA I believe it is a couple more months until travel. The wait for LOA can be anywhere from 30-100 days...will you pray with us for a quick LOA???
"...with God all things are possible." (Matt 19:26)
We know it, we've seen it, we believe it, and we are trusting in Him!
One step closer to our girl :)

When will you be in Korea? I am going in October. I am guessing we will miss each other. Are you on FB?
Congrats! Hope your next step is quick!
The Fuzhou* you are referring to is actually 6.5 hours from where our son is. He is in Fujian* Province but actually from Jinjiang*. They do the finalization in Fuzhou*.
By the way, we're from SW Mich!
