LOA!!!!!!



Here she is, our daughter and sister, Katie Marie-SiYin! She is waiting for us in Gaozhou, Guangdong China. We are planning on traveling early November to bring her home.

In this picture she is 7 months old. I have prayed to be with her for her 1st birthday and it looks like that prayer has been answered. We have not received the update from the orphanage, but are hoping to hear in the next few days. They have been very busy making calls from waiting parents since the tainted forumula was made public.

I wanted to tell you congratulations on your LOA. I read your post at Rumor Queen and wanted to tell you that if you use the courrier "There's Always Hope" at http://www.theres-always-hope.com/china_info_visa.htm you can get your Visa before you get TA. Our agency suggested we do that because the visas are good for 5 months (you will travel WAY before then). She is able to get the visas without having to have flights and airlines booked. Just wanted to let you know.
