A Wonderful Surprise

At 3:11 today, an email "popped up" on my phone's home screen with a beautiful subject line: Your Letter of Acceptance is here! That's right...the longed for LOA was at CCAI's office!


This letter says Baby Shawn is officially our son and Bella's baby brother. CCAI is overnighting it to us to sign, along with more paperwork for us to complete for them. We will be Fed Ex'ing it back ASAP and this will get the ball rolling to China!
I was so surprised because I had given up hope of receiving it today. In fact, poor Bella had a very cranky/distraught/upset
Mommy who was trying to hold herself together. (That's what a 71 day wait can do to a normal functioning adult...beat them into an emotional pulp.) Good thing for us both I had my phone close by. :)

The big question now is "When do we travel?". As of now, families are traveling 8-10 weeks after LOA's. I'll keep you all updated as we progress.

Hold on sweet baby boy...we're coming!!!
