Article 5!!!!!!! Next step....TA!
Joy and I are here at home, bubbling over all over the place! We just received the email from our agency that our Article 5 was picked up yesterday and overnighted to the CCAA (Chinese Consultate)! That means after all of these baby steps, we are FINALLY closer to the last leg of the journey, the home stretch,......our TA (travel approval)! From what I'm hearing, this usually comes in about 2-3 weeks. After that, flights are scheduled, packing starts, In-China scheduling and arrangements are made (as in we get the date we'll meet Luke).....and then we're off to go get our Luke!!!
