No News is Good News, Right?

So, our agency has had the bulk of our dossier since the 13th. Almost 2 weeks. They received our final piece of paper 1 week ago. We were told they were going to go through our dossier and we will be DTC (dossier to China) on Friday Jan 27th.  Well, that was the last we've heard from them.  So I'm going to assume that our dossier is perfect and ready to fly to China on Friday!

It should be perfect, right? I mean this is the 4th time we've done this. We should be pros at this.  BUT, I still worry that I forgot to do something simple.  Forgot to include something that is needed.  There will always be the fear that something is wrong, until I hear the words "It's finished!"

So hopefully we'll hear that we are DTC in 2 days.  Oh how I can't wait. We've been counting down the days for this.  Honestly, this has moved very quickly.  On Saturday Jan 28th, it will be 4 months since we saw Hope & Maggie's photos on the website.  We started the process on Oct 8th.  3 1/2 months to finish a dossier.  Very fast.  Our other 3 adoptions took 6 months.

SO, we're praying we get a quick LID (Log in Date).  Then we wait for the LOA (letter of acceptance). This is China giving us the 100% approval to be Hope & Maggie's parents.  After LOA comes TA (Travel Approval.  We are confident that we should be traveling sometime in July or early August. Of course we would love to travel in May or June. So keep praying.  :-)

I will update once we know for sure that we are DTC.  And if we get updated pictures of the girls I will upload them here too. We are patiently waiting to see photos of them opening their Chinese New Year package.

So check back soon.
