Received PA/Pre Approval Letter dated August 23rd, 2007 came today!

Jim and Christina,

Great news!!! Today I received your Pre Approval (PA) notice dated August 23rd, 2007 from the CCAA!!! This means that the China Center for Adoption Affairs has reviewed your Letter of Intent and family information sheet and has decided that you will be a great family for Shen Yong!

We are now able to submit your dossier, along with this pre approval letter to the CCAA as soon as your documents are completed.
Please keep in mind that your adoption process will not officially begin until we submit your dossier to the CCAA. It will be 12-17 weeks for your Letter of Confirmation (LOC) and then 2-4 weeks for your Travel Approval (TA) and then you will leave 2-4 weeks later. We have no control over when the TA is issued, though we will do our best to get you to China as soon as possible!

Please let me know if you have any questions about the above time frame. I will be praying that your adoption process continues to move quickly and smoothly! I pray that you are getting very close to having your home study done, to the CIS, and getting your FDL and then getting your dossier in our office! I have attached a copy of the PA to this email for your records. You won’t need to do anything with this document, but it’s a great keep sake to have in your adoption files. I will save the original PA and submit it with your dossier. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for your family as you continue to gather your paperwork. Have a terrific week and I will look forward to being in touch with you soon!

Blessings,

Tiffany

PS. Please note that at this time you are able to send care packages to Shen Yong.
