Chinese proverb

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break."

Supplement 3

Today we had to file a Supplement 3 to our I800A (remember that form?)  The I800A is submitted to U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (our request for approval to bring a child from China into the USA as a US citizen). 

Anyway...our original I800A gave us approval for a child up to 60 months of age (5 years old).  But, the little beauty we have been matched with is 62 months old.  So the difference of 2 months means more forms to fill out and submit...and of course another fee to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.  CRAZY!!!

LOA update:  today is day 12 of our LOA wait.  The average is around 60 days, however within the last week some people have received their LOA around day 35.  So, if we are lucky enough to have a wait of only 35 days we could potentially receive our LOA sometime around January 9th.  Which would mean maybe, just maybe, we could travel as early as the end of March!  Wishful thinking, but a momma can dream, right?!
