Well, we have decided that we will spell his name Zachary. Our Social Worker asked us how we were going to spell his name so it forced us to make a decision! ~:-)
We now begin the paperwork telling China that we intend to adopt Guo Rong and that we have identified resources to help him get the care he needs. Then China will pull our file and put it with his. After they complete their side of the paperwork for this step then they will send us a form called the Letter of Acceptance. Our Social Worker said that once we receive this form it is pretty easy to predict when we will travel. She said they will typically send the Travel Approval about a month after the Letter of Acceptance, allowing us to travel about 2 weeks after that. Once we get the LOA, we can apply for our visas, etc.
Her prediction for our travel was between the end of September and Thanksgiving. Because our dossier has already been reviewed in China, she is assuming it will be on the shorter side rather than the longer. So, more than likely it will be October.
Thanks to everyone for being so excited for us! We are thrilled.

Thanks for the paperwork update. With the paperwork being so different from Colombia it is so nice to have it explained. And, of course, we are so excited for you that we are eager for any updates, even ones explaining paperwork! Gotta love that paperwork!!!
