Part of an email that we received:

Date: Feb 25, 2014 3:49 AM
Subject: Mail to Parents After Article 5 Issued ---2/25/14
To: Dear Adoptive Parent,

The Adopted Children's Immigrant Visa Unit (ACIVU) at U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou has finished processing your child's Article 5, and your file is ready to be returned to your adoption agency's facilitator today. 

Next, your agency will deliver the Article 5 and Letter of Seeking Confirmation to the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption (CCCWA), which will issue the Travel Approval (TA).  The TA allows you to come to China to finalize the adoption, so once the CCCWA issues the TA, your agency can email us to request an immigrant visa appointment at the Consulate...


Fantastic news!  I began packing last week, so we are on target.  Still hoping to be on a plane on or about the first day of spring!
