More paperwork...

So we just got the nitty-gritty details on where we go from here in terms of paperwork. Sometime in the past year or so, the U.S. has added an additional step to an already exhausting process. So these are the things we need before we get the green light to travel.

1. File the I-800 (seeks approval to adopt a specific child)
2. Receive provisional approval for I-800
3. Receive letter from NVC (National Visa Center)
4. Article 5 is issued by US Consulate in China and forwarded to CCAA
5. CCAA issues travel approval

Because these steps are relatively new, there are just no accurate timelines out there as to how long all of this will take. All our agency can say is "we would hope that you would travel in 11-15 weeks." Please pray for a speedier process than that!
