We Got Our RA!!!!

We got got our Referral Approval from China today!! This is unheard of to have all this happen so fast! It usually takes at least 1-4 months! What this means is that the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs) has finalized & approved the match between Ying and our family and has accepted our letter of intent. Now, we will be able to get in contact with Ying and send her photos, letters, and care packages. This is so exciting! We are just bouncing off the walls over here! We could get our Travel Approval (TA) in the next few weeks....depending on whether the CCAA shuts down for the Olympics or not. We should know more about that within the next week. We could possibly travel as soon as September! AHHHH! We have been waiting so long for this moment... I can't articulate in words how surreal this feels!

There is so much to do and so many things to think about - it can be overwhelming at times. Thanks for your continued prayers that all these pieces will fall in place as we get even closer to bringing Ying home!
