TA has landed!!!!!!

We got our travel approval today, finally!! I was REALLY getting discouraged that we had not heard yet. I was trying to stop thinking about it non stop, and today I finally succeeded. So much in fact, that when I saw the area code on my phone, I thought it was my sister in law calling from a very similar area code. I was totally caught off guard...oddly enough!!! Our travel coordinator feels quite confident that we can get a CA for November 13th. (CA = Court Appointment.) So confident in fact that she has added us to the 'travel phone call'. That is typically a 2 hour phone call with every question that you can think of answered. I'm going to re-read through my travel paperwork tonight to make sure all of our bases are covered. Just to recap...the process goes something like this: You get your travel approval. That then allows your agency to request a court appointment. Once you have your court appointment, you buy your plane tickets!! In our personal situation, there are 12 other families from our agency going to the same province that we are with court appointments for the 13th. Our agency feels like because of this, it should be no problem to squeeze in with them. If not, we will be a day or two seperate from them. Which isn't a big deal at all. We should know by Wednesday exactly when our CA is. Of course the optimal word there is SHOULD. We SHOULD have had our TA by now, so I'm just going to say should loosely.

So, finally, after all this time...June 2005 actually, we are in the final 2 weeks of our adoption journey. Or should I say, the final 2 weeks before our true adoption story begins!!!
