We are now on day 48 of the wait for our Formal Letter of Approval to adopt our sweet Myah. The average wait time is 50 days... so I hope we receive ours SOON! Once we receive our LOA we have to sign it, return it to our agency and send a copy along with several other forms to the USCIS to receive approval for Myah to coming into the USA as a US citizen. Steps... there are lots of steps in the adoption process. I have to read the directions over and over to make sure that I don't miss anything!
Once we get our LOA, we will travel in a little over 2 months... we hope!
We are hopeful that our LOA arrives today, so that I can get it all taken care of before we leave for Jeff's family reunion. It would be soooo nice to not have to worry about anything while we are gone... well... except how long it will take for us to receive Myah's immigration approval... so we can move to the next step! The good thing about the next steps is that they typically take 2 to 3 weeks each... so I know what to expect. With the LOA there is no way to predict when you will receive it!
In the mean time... I have been shopping for baby girl stuff! Oh, what fun! I am happy to report that I have not gone overboard! Last night I purchased her diaper bag, which is made of asian material!
Our last report on Myah was last Wednesday when another adoptive family asked about her. She was reported to still be in the hospital (for atleast another week). Another adoptive family received their daughter today and will be visiting the orphange later this week. They will ask about her. I hope she is back at the orphanage and that they will be able to see her.
Please take 15 seconds right now to pray for Myah and her recovery. Also pray that God will begin to prepare her heart for her new family! Oh what an adjustment she will go through.
