Today I got an email from the NVC saying they have received our I800 approval and have forwarded it to the embassy in Crescent Moon for processing! We're in the home stretch!! I'm starting to get a bit nervous because now it feels really close, almost too close! From what I understand, Crescent Moon will now determine that Z is eligible for a visa and will double-check that all requirements to adopt have been met. Once they do that, they issue an "Article 5" which basically states that everything meets the criteria to adopt under the Hague convention. That letter gets sent to Beijing and they issue our TA (Travel Approval) from there! So it won't be long now!! Maybe 6 weeks or so? (I'm guessing here...) Getting excited!!!
Last week, D & I got up-to-date on our vaccines. We needed Hep B boosters, but went ahead and did A too since they could be combined. We also got Diphtheria Tetanus, and Polio since those are also recommended. I saw online that the CDC recommends Typhoid and Japanese Encephalitis as well, but our Dr. didn't think those were necessary. Our arms were sore for several days after, but no other side effects. Glad to know we won't have to worry as much about getting sick! We will still avoid the water, but that shouldn't be too hard for 2 weeks. Now I really need to look into the process of getting Z's US passport so we can get back to Germany relatively quickly.
