We have LSC!



Well, today our LSC arrived courtesy of FedEx. The LSC (Letter Seeking Confirmation) is the official of all official documents and let me tell you, there are numerous documents involved in this process. We actually got the call from our agency Friday afternoon that the LSC had arrived, but were told we had to wait until they returned to the office on Monday and have it shipped to us overnight. The call Friday came during my eye appointment and quite unexpectedly. When we received our PA (Pre-Approval) on Thanksgiving Day, we were told the LSC would arrive anywhere from 30 to 100 days. John and I were not expecting it until at least after the holidays. Friday was a fantastic day! It was John and Roseann's anniversary (John's parents)and a good friend of ours graduated from college that evening. We definitely realized how truly blessed we really are. So the package arrived today and we probably freaked out the FedEx man with our silly request, "Can we have a picture of you holding our package?" He was a real trooper and agreed. Now we can officially introduce our son to everybody. His Chinese name is Bao Long Ji and he is from the Guangdong Province. His American name is Adam and we have decided to combine the Long and Ji and make Longji his middle name. We hope he is okay with this. Adam is 5 years old and will be 6 years old in March. John and I are praying that we will have him in our arms before his next birthday. If things keep moving this quickly, we may make it to China around my birthday. If I can figure it out, I will post a timeline for everybody to see from paperwork to present.
