Dear JJ,
We heard back from the Agency this morning.
Supposedly, they are processing our file now.
When I asked what "processing now" meant, I was told, Yes, they are looking at it NOW.
After they are through looking at it, they will issue a Letter of Acceptance (LOA).
We will go into the Agency and sign this LOA right away.
This will get sent back to China.
When China receives it, they will send us the Travel Approval (TA).
While this is happening, we will go ahead and make travel plans.
Right now they are hoping that we will be able to travel during the week of August 16th.
But anytime before the end of August would be considered very fast.
It cannot get here fast enough for me!
We have been in the process of talking to the school district here.
They have a big Chinese program in one of the schools. It's not the one that is two blocks from the house and we will have to drive to it but it is only a mile away. The one that is two blocks away also has a new Chinese program. We will pick whichever one is the best for you.
We are very excited to be seeing you soon and bringing you home.
We can't wait!
Love,
Mama

Package from Home
Dear JJ,
By now you should have received a package from home. We mailed it last Friday and you should have it by now. I hope you like all the things in it. And I hope you share them with your friends there. And don't worry about bringing the toys home with you because we can always get you more when you get here.
We mailed you two shirts because we don't know your size yet. And I hope you and the nannies there will take a lot of pictures with the camera. We'll develop them once we get the camera back so we can share with you a little bit of your life there.
I hope you enjoy looking through the photo album. Daddy got a good one, didn't he? I hope you can read the labels I made in Chinese identifying your relatives. And then there is that picture book of Massachusetts so you know what thngs might look like around here.
I hope you are happy to be coming home with us, hopefully, soon. Our Chinese teacher said the other kids will be jealous when they find out about your family in America. That they will say, "Meiguo? You're going to Meiguo?". And she said the nannies will tell you that you will live in a hotel. That made me laugh. You will NOT live in a hotel.
I hope you are excited to be with us. I know it will be sad to leave your friends. But you will make new ones. And maybe one day you will be able to see them again. You never know what life will bring.
But most of all I hope you are not afraid.
I love you.
Mama
