We've been waiting for Claire for 1,511 days. We are currently on day 51 of our wait for LOA. We have been feeling these last 51. Other adoptive families waited only 5 for LOA, others 75. Our hearts are aching to get on a plane. As hard as it is right now though, we'll keep fighting. We have hit every obstacle and every roadblock on this journey. Still, we'll keep saying what we have said since 2006. God's timing is perfect...even when it is hard.
After LOA, we'll be waiting for Travel approval (approx. two months later).

Praying for you guys. Can't wait to see Claire in your arms!
Rebecca,
I am always reminded of how graciously you handled the wait for your I797 while we were all paperchasing back in 2006. I remember feeling so torn when so many announced their receipt of i171h/I797 and then being DTC while we waited and waited for what seemed like YEARS just to get our dossiers to China. I know also that even though I felt like I waited LONG for my I-171H, you waited even longer.
Here we are 4 years later and you have once again handled this so well... I am so sorry that these obstacles have come your way and everything is taking much longer than anticipated...Know that I am praying for quick LOA and the paperwork process to flow smoothly from here on out... and that all obstacles to Claire will be removed.
I have loved watching your family grow (in every way) and I am excited that I can witness some exciting journeys ahead (even if it's just through your blog) :)
Blessings!
Pam
