Acceptance Letter

Yesterday we mailed back our acceptance agreement stating that we intend to adopt Chloe. We had 24hrs. to get her medical information checked out by our pediatrician and have the paperwork back in the mail. The doctor gave us a thumbs up report (not that it really mattered to us :). So after we double checked our I-171H immigration papers and our passports, etc. according to the list given to us by our agency, we called for a FedEx pickup and sent everything off overnight. As soon as CCAI gets our agreement, they can request travel approval (TA) from China for us to travel. We should get a new set of paperwork to start working on next week sometime.

In the mean time, I made arrangements for Chloe to go to the Oak Adoption Center at Akron Children's Hospital when we get home. It seems like a great place and they will monitor any health and development issue she may have.

Thank you so much for all the kind words and notes of congratulations. We're keeping them all and can't wait to show them to Chloe as she gets older. I'm sure it will be really encouraging to her to know how many people were thinking of her and praying for her, even before we knew her face.
