What happens next??

For all my followers out there that are not familiar with the Chinese adoption process, these are the next steps in the process to bring Avery home:

1. Send back our letter of Acceptance to the CCAA - DONE

2. Recieve Travel Approval (TA) from the CCAA to come pick up Avery. It usually takes 3-4 weeks for TA's to come in.

3. After TA is received our agency will make an appointment for us with the American Consulate. This appointment is the last thing that we must do during our trip.

4. After that appointment is confirmed the Agency will work backwards from the appt date to establish travel dates for us. It usually requires being in China 10-12 days prior to the Consulate Appointment to get all the paperwork in order.

5. The agency will give us our travel dates and we will book our trip!!

We should be receiving Avery 2-3 days after we arrive in China!!!!

Right now the agency projects us to have travel completed by March 31st. That means we should be leaving mid March. Of course all those projections rest on the TA being received quickly.

Thanks for following along with us!!!
