OMG, it's our LOA!

It's funny how the whole adoption process works- you put in tons of hours doing paperwork, getting physicals, and preparing your dossier for China, then you do alot of w.a.i.t.i.n.g.

So you get kind of good at waiting, and you begin busy with life again, and just when things are crazy, as they are this week with our Fair schedule, the adoption paperwork suddenly becomes front and center in your life.  Everything else screeches to a stop.

Your LOA has arrived!  (Letter of Acceptance from China)


Loren signing our LOA
So, tomorrow morning BEFORE we head back to the fair to do our fair "stuff", we must head up to Sioux Falls to find a Fed Ex office so we can get this paperwork sent off to our China team asap.
So, China has officially accepted our application for Quinn, and we are entering our last leg of the paperwork journey.  (whew!)

And you know what LOA means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
