Two months after sending our final documents to China, we got our LOA (letter of approval, or letter seeking confirmation) yesterday! This means we have been approved by the Chinese adoption authority to adopt Jayden.
Next steps are waiting for another approval from immigration, waiting for documents to be cabled to the US consulate in China, waiting for approval from the consulate (Article 5), and then waiting for Travel Approval from China. Each step takes approximately 2 weeks. Once we have travel approval, we can make a consulate appointment and buy plane tickets!! So, looks like June travel is still possible, at the latest beginning of July (assuming the government doesn't shut down and slow things down!!)
