We got our LSC today!

Yahoo!  Happy days...this LSC or Letter Seeking Confirmation is our formal approval and means the Chinese government has officially recognized us as Sofie Yan Cornett's parents!  Yep...decided this would be a good time to share her name since it is all official now!!!

I can't tell you how excited and relieved we are!  We weren't expecting any news for at least another month so this is truly a great day!

Next steps -- our homestudy will need to be updated since we were originally approved for a child up to the age of 24 months old.  Once that is complete, we will file an amended immigration approval for her age and an I800 for approval to bring her specifically in to the country and make her a U.S. citizen.  Then we will be issued approval to travel.  This should all take 6-10 weeks.  Not fast enough, but I know we should take this time to prepare and get everything in order so we can bring our girl home!
