After the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) reviews your dossier and gives you a referral of a specific child, the adoptive family must sign the Letter of Acceptance form (stating that they accept this specific child). This form is then mailed back to CCAA. Three to four weeks later, CCAA will mail to the adoption agency a travel notice (aka: travel approval) for each family, giving permission to travel to China. This travel notice also allows the adoption agency to apply (on behalf of the family) for an Embassy appointment at the U.S. Embassy in Guangzhou. Families will then hand-carry this travel notice to China to present to Chinese and U.S. officials when necessary.
