LOA means letter of acceptance. This is what you get when they approve you for the child thru SN. Our letter of acceptance we sent back within hours of getting Kennedy because when you travel as a group, you need to send them all in together.
We all had to ask what the abbreviations mean at first!

Oops, you get caught up in the all abbreviations and assume everyone knows. And, you know what happens when you assume! LOL Yes, LOA (letter of acceptance) is a very good thing.  It's the final piece of paperwork that says "Yes, we will accept this child." Now we wait for our travel approval.Actually, the top of the piece of paper we received reads "Letter of Seeking Confirmation from Adopter," which is why our agency calls it LSC instead of LOA, although LOA is the more widely used term. Thanks everyone for all the kind words and support. We are thrilled beyond belief. Kevin
