Yaoyao pronounces Hao Liang

I wanted to post this again, because the last video isn't working for some reason. I hope this one works.

See how lovely Yaoyao pronounces "Hao Liang" (meaning "very pretty.")

We don't know our travel dates yet, and probably won't know for a while. Trust me, we want to know more than anyone "when," so we'll share that info when we find out (hint, hint - it seems like I've been asked a thousand times already.)

Everyone wants to know "what's the delay?" Well, it's not really a delay, just standard administrative tasks. We take it for granted we know what happens next, but I guess everyone expects it to be instantaneous or something.

1. We mailed our acceptance letter to our agency, who mailed it to the CCAA (in China.)
2. The CCAA will (at some point) issue a Travel Approval (TA) for us via our agency.
3. Then our agency can make an appointment for our travel group at the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China. We all need to appear at this appointment, so our travel dates hinge on that. They will issue our child's IR-3 Visa, so she can enter the US (in our case, Hawaii, where we'll take care of her naturalization.)
4. AND there's a lot that will happen in China - that's why we have to stay there at least 10 days. All those details are for another post, if you're interested.
5. I understand a lot of this paperwork leading up to travel happens by snail mail - that's why it takes 7-9 weeks from referral to travel.
