First meeting with our Vermont social worker, Ann Clark Second meeting with Ann Ann came to our house to do part of her homestudy Our application to CCAI, our adoption agency, was approved Appointment with USCIS for fingerprints, etc Our I-171H arrived. Boy, that was fast! All other documents received, and certified by the Vermont SOS Documents received from Chinese Consulate, and sent to CCAI Dossier all translated and sent to China Dossier logged in at CCAA The "Brown Envelope" arrived from US Consulate in Guangzhou A call from CCAI about Jiang Yi Qin! Received referral packet via FedEx for Yi Qin Sent Letter of Intent to Adopt Yi Qin via Express Mail to CCAI Letter of Intent should be off to China! |
Now we wait for the CCAA to review our dossier, make a final decision about our adoption proposal, and then issue a "Travel Approval", or TA. This process typically takes 2-3 months. After we receive our TA, our agency will schedule an appointment with the US Consulate in Guangzhou for us, and then plan our trip! Families usually travel 2-4 weeks after receiving their TA. So, we may be off to China in 3-4 months! |
