LOA TODAY!!!!

Our God is an AWESOME God!!! This afternoon, we received the call from our agency rep that they had received our LOA today! We are in total shock! We have only been waiting for 58 days! The average wait time has been 90-120 days! Now, this LOA (Letter of Acceptance) means that the Chinese adoption officials have reviewed our paperwork and have given us approval to adopt our son, Michael Jianyang! The only thing that is between us and our boy is our TA (travel approval). Apparently, it will take about 4 weeks to get this piece of paper, and once we receive it we can make our travel arrangements! Technically, we could probably leave around the end of May or early June. We may not be able to leave that early but we are going to try and get to China ASAP. Not only is it a miracle that we received our LOA in only 58 days, but today also happens to be Steve's birthday. Nothing can top receiving approval to adopt a son! Glory to God! And now, since we have this approval from China, we can FINALLY introduce our son to you:
