LSC Accomplished

This past Thursday we received our LSC from China!  This is the official document that says they will allow us to be the parents of Maggie Rose!  We signed it and overnighted it to our agency.  We have already been notified that it is on its way to China.  Once received by the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs) they will begin processing our TA (travel approval).  We are told this takes 2 to 3 weeks.  We are therefore looking to travel to get her in December!!


We are free to publish her photos now!
