ARTICLE 5 pick-up!!!!

Here is a little clip of an email I received on Tuesday morning from China.....

Dear Adoptive Parent,

The Adopted Children's Immigrant Visa Unit (ACIVU) at U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou has finished processing your child's Article 5, and your file is ready to be returned to your adoption agency's facilitator today. 

And then this email from our adoption agency a little bit later....

Dear Eric & Lisa Rademacher,

We just received an update from our Guangzhou staff stating that they have picked up your family’s Article 5(s) (signed 2^nd acceptance letter) from the Consulate and now it is off to the CCCWA. The Article 5 typically takes about 2-3 days to be delivered to the CCCWA. Once the CCCWA receives this document, they will have all that they need to issue your family’s travel approval. The CCCWA typically takes about 2-4 weeks to issue a travel approval. Once the travel approval arrives families typically leave for China about 10-21 days later. We see this update as great news for your family as you are one step closer to getting you to your little one in China!

WE ARE GETTING VERY CLOSE!!!

What this all means is that we are now waiting for our TA....travel approval to come to China!  We are so close now.  It can take 2-4 weeks, as the email said, for our TA to come.....PLEASE pray for a quick TA for our family so that we can go get Sara and bring her home!!!
