Oh yeah, forgot to mention....BOTH I-800 Provisionals (classifying orphans as adoptable orphans & verifying our Home study specifically mentioning them by name and by special need and by age...(no more original or notarized copy of a home study addendum will be allowed to be carried by adoptive parents to China: not allowed per USA) were both granted today for our family, from the Hague NBC~National Benefits Center. They (NBC) are actually sending them overnight to the Hague NVC~National Visa Center. (this is rare to overnight, usually they use snail mail) The NVC will look over the two new kids visa applications, or DS-230's and the I-797C (old I-171H) and these 2 new I800 provisional approvals ..aka "The Paperwork" that they will receive TOMORROW. ;o) They then scan it and then cable/wire the scans to GZ (Guangzhou, China), along with snail mailing the hard copies to Guangzhou, China to the office of the US Consulate (this takes 7-10 days)... ughhh ~ Then the US CONSULATE SIGNS (taking up to 3 weeks,...That we don't have) IT ALL ("the paperwork") INTO EFFECT,... after verifying everyone else's ~ verification that we are fit parents and qualify to adopt and these two kids are qualified as orphans. This is officially called Article #5 (or LOA/LSC #2) this Article #5 is sent to the CCAA China Center of Adoption Affairs) in Beijing, and then China gives us TA (Travel Approval)! Then of course, our adoption agency waits for the US Consulate to grant/confirm our family an exiting CA (Consulate Appointment), this taking 1-6 days. Then we can go get our children waiting for us!!!!!~
P.S.
I had you at HELLO, right??..:o).... and then it was a downhill snowball effect of being UGHHH!!!! and HUHHH???, or just down right dull!!! :o)
UPDATE: 8/7/9 THE NVC HAS BOTH PROVISIONALS; PRAY THEY MOVE THEM TO GZ(Guangzhou, China) QUICKLY.
UPDATE:8/11/9 They moved them to Guangzhou (GZ, China). Now we wait for the signing of the Article 5.
