Our Article 5 has been completed and sent to the CCCWA for our Approval to Travel. With our Approval to Travel we can contact the Visa Department to schedule our appointment. This will be the last thing we do before we come home from China with Min so our travel date will be 2 weeks prior to this appointment!
Denise from Theres Always Hope picked up our Visas today and will be sending them to us. Travel is getting so close!
Please pray for Min to have an easy transition and find moments of happiness during this very confusing time of adjustment for her.
Thank you to all who have helped us through this process. To be honest, the process has just began. Min will now become part of our family and adjust to a new language and culture. That will be another long journey for her.

Provisional Approval Notice
We received our Provisional Approval Notice to classify Min as our immediate relative from the USCIS on Friday May 8, 2015. Time is really moving fast right now. We are so excited and have been shopping and preparing for travel and Min's home coming.
Our new timeline:
Letter from NVC on average 1- 2 weeks puts us at May 20
Article 5 is 10 days bringing us to May 30
Travel Notice 2 weeks after that brings us to June 14.
We will travel (usually) 2 weeks later.
We sent gifts to Min after we received our LOA. Two new outfits, shoes and socks, a phone with songs and games in English, fruit and veggies for the children in her group, and candies for the nannies. We also received and update and Min is growing so much. She is a big girl now, no more baby.
We are going to China to bring home our beautiful daughter very soon!
