Just to recap...

So, just to recap....we are now waiting for TA, (Travel Approval). We sent our LOI, (Letter of Intent to Adopt) on July 13th. We received our LOA, (Letter of Acceptance of our Letter of Intent to Adopt) on September 17th. We MUST receive our TA before we can get a CA, (court appointment). All this means, that if we don't hurry and get our TA soon, we may not be able to get a CA with the group that's leaving October 25th. My family coordinator told me yesterday that she still feels like it's favorable that we will be leaving October 25th. From the last group of NSN, (non special needs) referrals, there were quite a few children that are being adopted from Guangxi. That means that we would have American friends with us while traveling, and an actual group to participate in functions with. If we miss this group, we will most likely be on our own while there. As much as I want to leave October 25th, I could argue that it would be better if we left on November 1st. I could still go on Chandler's field trip with him, and I could also participate in the church fall festival with all the kids. Flights might be more expensive coming home as we get closer to Thanksgiving. That would be a huge burden, so scratch that whole train of thought. Come on TA...we need a CA!!!!!
