DTC!

Today we received an email stating that our dossier was finished with the critical review process and would be sent to our agency's translation department.  We were told to expect another email in a few days after our dossier was sent to China.

Our I800 - the final document we'd been waiting on

By this afternoon we had a second email in our inbox saying our dossier had been sent!  (Insert tears.)  After 6 1/2 months of work, including some lost clearances, "unclassifiable" fingerprints, denied notarization (more tears - I really haven't been THAT emotional, just the two times mentioned.  :-)), and a (ahem) denied physical examination by the Chinese Consulate (Step #4 of 4 - yes, I dated it incorrectly putting us back at square one on this form!), it was hard to believe our documents were on their way across the ocean!

Sending our final documents to our agency - April 19th

We should be logged in to China's system in the next few weeks, and then matched with our little girl in the next 6 months.  We can hardly wait to see what God has in store.....
