Article 5

Got a call from our agency that our Article 5 was issued today. I had hoped it was issued earlier in the week but it's done and that's all that's important. Article 5 is just a letter saying we've completed all the necessary steps.

So the Chinese adoption officials now have all the necessary paperwork. Now we're in line to be issued travel approval. It's basically a letter that says that we can come and adopt Caleb.

We're still on track to leave last week of June/first week of July. I could be ready sooner if we are given that option. I've seen people get travel approvals in 9 days. I have seen some people wait close to two months. Average wait is three weeks.

The next few weeks will be nerveracking for sure! Like waiting to go into labor!
