A huge weight has been lifted!

This week I sent out four very important documents! And my oh my has a huge weight been lifted off of my shoulders. I sent out our DS230 document (Ella's visa paperwork,) our RA (Referral Acceptance) an I-800a form (application for determination of suitability to adopt a child from a convention country) and a I-800 form (application to determine the child's eligibility for classification as a convention adoptee.) Don't be fooled, the actual paperwork sent out was not four pages! Oh trust me, I've let down a lot of tree hugging people down this year. I've also checked, rechecked, and checked a few times over..before I parted with these precious documents at my local FedEx/Kinko's. I was told that once our I-800 was submitted, that the actual TA (Travel Acceptance) count down begins! Our RA and the DS230 paperwork will be in the hands of our adoption agency tomorrow morning at 10:30. And our I-800a and I-800 forms will in the hands of USCIS on Monday at 10:30am. Once our agency submits our paperwork to China, we will be receiving updates and photos of Ella!!! :) -Jenn
