Can you believe that we are still waiting for our TA-travel approval! I am so upset that it has not come yet! TA is usually issued between day 9-21. I guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones that has to wait until the last day! I really wanted to leave next week on Jan. 4th! Now we will most likely not be able to leave until after the Chinese New Year! Argh! I just hate thinking that Emma will have to be in the SWI for another 3.5 weeks!
Anyways, there is this website that I go onto every day. It's a website for people who are adopting and can post questions, vent, or just talk. So, on this website there are charts that let people know where they "stand" according to there paper work dates. On a brighter note, I am all the way towards the top of the list of people who are waiting for their TA! Below, I posted a picture of part of the chart. I used to be all the way at the bottom- number 170! Now, I am all the way at the top- number 3! Yay! Hopefully, next week I will be off the chart and on the chart for CA- consulate appointment!
Okay... just received the email I had been waiting for! Our article 5 was received on January 14th at the CCCWA! So we are officially on day 4 of our wait for travel approval! One of my online friends just received her TA on Thursday(day 9 for her ) and she was exactly one week ahead of us! So please pray that our wait is super quick and that we receive our TA next week! I am really hoping to travel before the Chinese New Year which begins on January 23!
Hi everyone! So I think our article 5 pickup was today in Guangzhou! I have not had a confirmation from my agency... but I believe it did happen! Our China representative I have been told is wonderful and extremely reliable. So if today was the day for pick up- then it was picked up. My agency did tell me they will email me once they find out! So, what does this mean? It means we are officially waiting for our TA- travel approval! Yeah! Finally! TA is usually given between 2 and 3 weeks. I am praying that we receive our TA on the quicker side. My perfect scenario: Leaving for China on January 4th! Will it happen? There is a possibility if we get a fast TA! Only time will tell!
