We Have LOA!!

Our agency called us last Thursday, 11/14. They had our LOA in hand, they got it to us on Friday and we had it back in their hands on Saturday. It should be back to the CCAA on Wednesday, 11/19.

If all goes well and as planned we hope to travel to get Hannah (Fu Ping Nian) mid-December and be home by Christmas!

Anyone else traveling to the Jinan SWI in Shandong Province around that time?
