Adopting Ethan

News

We just received a phone call from Holt, Oregon informing us on a development with our adoption. The agency received notification that our dossier has moved from the CCAA to the travel department. This means that we are just days away from receiving our travel approval. Their "estimate" (this is still just an estimate based on availability of US Consulate appointments) of our travel is mid to late November. We are so excited!!!!! We can't wait to meet our Son face to face and bring him to his new home.

Anytime Now!

Our Dossier to China date is July 28th. That puts us at 3 months on the 28th of October. Today we contacted our agency, Holt International. We asked for some update as to our progress. The agency indicated that they were due for a travel approval group. The typical special needs timeframe for Dossier to China to Travel Approval is 2-4 months. As we thought, this means that we could get our approval any day now! For special needs, the time from travel approval to travel is not less than 2 weeks, the typical timeframe being 2-3 weeks. We are ready to go. We are ready to get Ethan home to meet his extended Forever Family! We think of him everyday and wonder what he is up to.
