Big update...


We have been crazy busy over here because we got our LOA!!!
Actually we got it on the 28th of May (My Honey’s birthday, how awesome is that? That’s like the best present ever…) we were actually enjoying some yummy Mexican food celebrating when we received a call from our agency.
We were pleasantly surprised…but as soon as it sunk in I just got very emotional- actually a real hot mess. I just can’t believe this is really happening!!!   We have been planning for so long and now that things are moving along I don’t know how to act, so overwhelming. 
That same night we were watching TV and guess what? The Little Couple(I think that’s the name of the show) were in China adopting a little boy-it was their Gotcha day, as you can imagine I was crying like a baby. 
Soon it will be our turn, so super excited!!!!
Yesterday (May 29th) I devoted my day to completing our 800 application.
I was so not prepared. I had no idea we still had to compile yet another stack of forms and supporting documents. It should have not taken me so long but I wanted to make sure everything was perfect and nothing was missing.
This was my Honey this morning when I handed over the documents
                                         LOL Anything for our Lil' Cupcake :0)
                                                                                     (picture Found on Pinterest)

                 We are happy that our I800 application was mailed today
                                      Closer, much closer to our baby girl.
                                               Signing our LOA...  Boom!

We had our travel meeting via phone today (30th of May) and it lasted 1 ½ hours- we went over 70 pg info pack- our brains are mushy so am pretty sure we will have to revisit that packet of info again (and very soon).

Next step… apply for visas woohoo!!! Ugh I think am going to cry again…
