When is She Coming Home?

So many people have asked me this million dollar question!  I wish I could say the answer was tomorrow.  Sadly, it is not:(  One of the blogs (http://www.hopeforelisyn.com/2011/06/working-numbers.html) I read had a handy little chart that I totally stole to help explain what our time frame looks like.  It is depressing really, but it is what it is.  These dates are based on AVERAGES.  It can go faster or it could be longer depending on how long we wait for each approval.  We are PRAYING so hard that we get our LOA this week or next.  If we do, there is a slim chance we could be with Katie on her birthday.  We are also praying we travel and are home before October when prices skyrocket for a major holiday and an annual convention.

Take a gander at out depressing chart:
