We submitted our LOI (letter of intent) to our adoption agency today stating that we intend to adopt our new son. Our agency, Christian World Adoption (CWA) will now translate our letter and send it, along with a few photos of us, to China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA). CCAA is located in China, they processes all adoptions for China whether non-special needs adoption or special needs adoption. Once CCAA reviews it, they will (hopefully) send our agency, CWA, the PA (Pre-Approval for us to adopt this little guy). This starts the clock ticking faster for all other processes.
Upon PA, we then have only 3 months to get our approval from USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) and receive our I171H or I797C, which states we can bring an orphan child into the U.S. The timeframes for this procedure can take 2-5 months! So it could be sticky. We will ask for many, many prayers to be said on our behalf that we receive great favor and our file is processed quickly. It is what it is and God's timing is always perfect, that is all we can focus on.
Enough blah, blah, blah for now. Thanks for reading this far if you actually did.
peace,
Tam
