Great news in the Bunn household today. We received an email from Tina with CHI and we received our Pre-Approval from China to adopt Jackson.  We knew this was going to happen, we knew it would happen within a couple of weeks. It only took a little over a week to get it.

This couldn’t have come on a better day. I was disappointed that our adoption agency laid off our social worker. We’d been working with Christina since we started our homestudy in 2006.  She’d been such a great source of support and knowledge for me. I was really sad to see her leaving.  Her last day was supposed to have been Friday, I was looking forward to a “formal” goodbye. Had been planning to send her flowers or something along those lines.  We recieved an email after close of business last night saying that it had been her last day of work. 

So this morning I was feeling better about it, but still kind of sad, only to receive the email from Tina.  They are working getting an update on Jackson for us, but said they cannot promise they will get one, and if get one they’ll email it to us.  I feel optimistic that we will get an update. I can’t wait to see new pictures of my little man. 

Until then, we wait and we get things ready for our little guy so that we’re ready when he gets there. We’re still hoping to travel in September or October to get him.  I could be wrong, it could be longer, then again, it could be sooner.

All I know is, we have our Pre-Approval from China.  Next we’ll be waiting for our Seeking Confirmation Letter.  No telling how long it will take to receive that, but I do know of other families who have gotten their SCL’s in a little over a month. So with our luck, we’ll get our SCL while we’re in San Diego on vacation or something. We’ll figure it out if that happens. Nothing is going to hold up this process!!
