I received an email today that our Article 5 has been picked up by our agency's China representative and is being delivered to the CCCWA (China government agency responsible for all adoptions).
Now we wait for TA - Travel Approval. Some have waited a record time of a little over 1 week, the standard being 2-3 weeks, and some have waited an agonizing 5 weeks. We cannot travel until we are officially invited via our TA.
Here is the big prayer request... Please pray we get our TA in 1-2 weeks, reason being that we have flights booked to China already for the end of May! Yes, we can move the tickets if we don't get our TA in time, but it will mean spending money to do so.
My visa application will be in the mail today and hopefully I'll have my passport and visa back next week at this time. Pray for no hiccups with the visa process.
