I watched this and Will was in the other room, he came running in say "Is that Wia Kate, Is that Wia Kate?" "Let me see, let me see!". After we watched it he said "Awww, that's Wia Kate's mommy, Aunt Ema-wee" Love the sweet (hoarse) laugh :)
Hi Giffens, Beautiful We're so glad we were able to meet you and the Browns at the Lifeline Travel mtg. It's so exciting to see God's beauty through adoption. We're very excited for your 'new' family and the adventure you're on. We can't wait to receive our LOA. What a blessing to follow family's journey to Lia Kate!! Hugs, Rob, Ginny, & Thornton Gang
May - June 2007 Choose an agency -- Lifeline Children's Services -- and start paperchasing.
November 2007 Approval to adopt from USCIS.
December 29, 2007 We are DTC (Dossier to China)!
January 15, 2008 We are LID (Log In Date)! Logged in to the CCAA (Chinese Consulate on Adoption Affairs) system. Meanwhile, our son, Britton, was born and living in the NICU.
January 2008 - August 2009 WAITING. Adoptions are moving very S-L-O-W-L-Y.
August 2009 We decide to pursue a special needs child and begin reviewing files here and there.
October 21, 2009 We get Lia Kate's file and know she is ours! Send off our LOI (Letter of Intent) to adopt her.
October 27, 2009 We get Pre-Approval (PA) from the Chinese government to adopt Lia Kate!
November 16, 2009 Our Letter of Approval (LOA) came saying we are approved to adopt Lia Kate! We waited only 3 1/2 weeks to get it ... crazy fast. Hoping to leave for China in December.
