So, today I have good news, bad news and just plain confusion. Good news is that we got the official approval of our I-800. Previously, we just had an emailed copy. Bad news--we still don't have our NVC letter. Eric was able to get through to them yesterday and they told him that our documents had been completed and cabled to Guangzhou, China. Hopefully, in the next few days, we will get the official NVC letter. Our agency has confirmed that they are going to be sending our 'stuff' to the American Consulates office in Guangzhou, China on Friday even if they don't have our NVC letter. These last few steps are confusing to us as they are new requirements since I adopted Abigayle back in 2006. We think, through Eric's conversation with the National Visa Center, that our I-800 had to go to their office so they could put a 'stamp' on it and send it to China--like the I-800 people couldn't figure out where to send it. Huh....... OK, well, whatever it takes to get us to our boy. We are sooooooo close. We are still hoping to leave the very end of August. Cross our fingers, toes and anything else we can.
On a separate note, we got some of Abigayle's old toys out of the attack this past weekend, cleaned them and installed new batteries. Most of the toys will be too young for him, but we figure he is missing some basic skills, from living in an orphanage, that he needs to learn. He will get more age appropriate toys for his b-day and then Christmas.
