Waiting has never been a strong point of mine. Waiting patiently has been even less of a virtue that I can maintain. As today draws to a close, it wraps up day # 42 of our wait to get the Letter of Approval (LOA) from the Chinese government. For those of you who have followed our journey from day one, this wait probably seems silly, tiny, even trivial. It is, however, the first significant wait we've had since we have seen her round face and chubby little cheeks. All the other months (and even years) of waiting have been without a photo of a special little girl - our daughter, pulling at our heartstrings. We so want to bring her home!!
Combing the internet, I see other families who have waited as little as 21 days to get their LOA. I have found others who have waited well over 100 days. The majority, however, seem to be waiting somewhere between 30 and 70 days after submitting their LOI (Letter of Intent) before the Chinese government returns a LOA to the family. We are in that range now, so hopefully, it won't be too much longer.
I encourage you to vote for a name - I did not limit how often you can vote, so please feel free to add a ballot each time you check this website. I will keep you updated as things change and progress. Thank you for being part of this special journey with our family!!
