Does it get any better?!?

Yep, that's right! Our China Director, K, just called, and we officially have LOA! We should have it in hand, signed and returned by tomorrow! Once CCAA has our LOA, we wait for them to issue TA (Travel Approval), and then we request CA (Consulate Appointment). TA usually comes 2-4 weeks following LOA receipt, then CA is generally known within 48 hours. China, here we come! Wow, first pictures of my boy, then LOA! It can't get much better at this phase of the game!
