Today we are officially DTC and our papers are on the way to China ~ We are hoping and praying for a quick LOA (Letter of Acceptance)!!!!! This process can take up to 4 months, however is moving quicker in most cases. Once the LOA is received we will be anxiously awaiting our TA (Travel Approval) and date for the Consulate Appointment. We received an update yesterday on our little sunshine. He is doing well and seems to be doing well from what is told.

Authentications Complete!!!!
Finally, our package arrived from the Chinese Consulate after being misplaced from the overnight envelope! What a bad 3 weeks this has been for my nerves. This afternoon, I prepared everything to take to the mail and overnight it to the adoption agency so that we could finally be DTC!!!!!

Dossier Lost!!!
The dossier has arrived at the Chinese Consulate in Chicago and has not been returned yet. I have tried to be patient waiting and know that something has to be WRONG here ..... It should not be taking this long!!! I waited the requested amount of time before emailing with no reply back... Then I sent a few faxes !!! I was about ready to jump in the car to drive to Chicago myself!

Lucikly, the were not busy and I was able to sit for an hour while they worked on it. Later this same day, I prepared everything to go to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago for Authentication! We are almost there :)
