LOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



In just 40 days I received my LOA. This is the "official" approval that I need to adopt Madi. I had already gotten pre-approved, so I knew this was a technicality, still it was a needed step in order for me to move forward. Next step is to file the I-800 immigration forms and then TRAVEL. Of course, there are a bunch of tiny steps in between, but I am getting CLOSER!!!!


The next timeline is a visual of the adoption process. I am at the "obtain I800 approval" phase. You can kind of get a sense of when I will travel based on this. But like anything in the adoption world, things can speed up or SLOOOOW down without any notice. I still have a chance to travel before Christmas. That would be a HUGE blessing!!!



I am so excited to be getting closer to bringing my Madison home. She is already loved so much and spoken about everyday in our home. I still have a way to go in order to get the finances in order, but I have Faith that everything will work out just as it is supposed to.
