In March 2010, I first saw her face. Six months later, she was still waiting for a family to come forward for her. She's been waiting 12 years. On Sept 15, we sent a letter to China, called a Letter of Intent, telling the officials that we want to adopt Ying. Within a week they issued pre-approval, pending the receipt & approval of all our documents. Now the homestudy, authenticated documents & immigration approval are finished & today our agency mailed our dossier to China. Now we wait for final approval from China & travel approval. My guess is I will travel in May or June to bring her home. She doesn't know yet that she has a family. She'll find out sometime closer to travel. In fact, when we receive final approval, then we'll be allowed to send her a care package. We'll send pics and a few gifts and then she'll know we are coming for her.
So glad the biggest part of this paperwork mountain is behind us!

Happy New Year - 2011
It's been a few months since the last post. We are finished with all paperwork on the U.S. side, except that we are STILL waiting for 1 document, which is the immigration approval. As soon as we have that, our dossier goes to China. I'm still hoping for May travel. Ying turned 12 yrs old yesterday, 1-11-11. She likely knows nothing about us yet or that she's being adopted.
Here's a little "catch-up" video of the last few months...
