Pre-Approval Received

On New Years Eve 2007 the red thread found us again! Immediately, we started the Process for our Quinn who resides in LouDi City, China. We received his medicals and photos a few days after. He is diagnosed with Thombasthenia aka a blood platlet disorder. At this time, he is one of the first children to available for adoption with Thrombasthenia. We sincerely hope that there will be more children eligible for adoption shortly following. Quinn will be joined by 2 sisters, both from Hunan! What a "Spicy" home we could have :) We look forwared to bringing him home soon!

On February 18th we received Pre-Approval for Quinn after 5 days! At this point, we are told that it will be approximately 2 to 4 months before we will hear anymore news. Now, we wait some more!

Letter of Intent (LOI)

Happy 7th Birthday Fu Qi!!!!

Today is a special day not only because it is your birthday but because we submitted a Letter of Intent (LOI) which committed us to adopting you into our family! The CCAA closed today until 2/14 due to the Chinese New Year, so we are hopeful that your file will not be delayed too terribly long. Beginning in January, a new online system became effective so, we hope that it goes quickly from here on out!

We celebrated by having fresh strawberries and Angel Food Cake with Whipped Cream! Yummy Stuff! Janie asked if we could make one again once you arrive home :)

In addition to all of this fun, we went to the CIS office here in Kansas City and filed our I-600A. Our Home Study is now final during all of this time. Kris worked especially hard to help us complete this part. We also were fingerprinted as a part of the process. We were told it was currently taking 2-3 weeks to receive approvals back... Yeah!!! Our paperchase is almost done with the exception of the 171-H, SOS and Authentications..... One step closer to bringing you home!
