"Soft" LOA

As if adoption lingo needed one more crazy term...but we officially got our soft letter of approval to adopt our Ella!! It is coined "soft" because we can't move on to or next step without actually receiving this in our hands to sign- but it's en route!! We got an email from our agent Tuesday. Our i800 paperwork is waiting in the office to overnight once we get then"hard" physical copy of the LOA. This is BIG news because it typically means you will be traveling 8-10 weeks from the date you receive this letter. 

In the meantime- we are keeping busy with visits with friends, trips to the beach and nesting for a new member of our family. 

Busy days with precious friends.

Flowers from a friends garden...the purple flower is Ella.💗

Beach trip for daddys work and time with my parents.
