Most excellent adoption news

Six months, 2 weeks, and 1 day from the day Paul looked across the table over fish and chips and said to me that fateful word:  YES.  Today marks the biggest milestone since that day:  DTC, or Dossier To China.  All the paperwork we've been compiling is finally on it's way.

Realistically, it's about the half way point, time wise.  Emotionally, this is huge.  From here on out, it's just a matter of time, money, and a few more pieces of paper back and forth from both China and immigration.  The next thing to happen is we should receive a Log In Date.  This is when China says they've received it and put it in line to process.  This generally happens in about a week.

This is it!  I'm so excited!  I can RELAX, knowing that there's nothing I can do until we receive our LOA from China.  That's taking a couple of months these days, so I am telling myself not to even think about it until after Valentine's Day.  (We'll see how long that lasts, lol!)

Celebrating!
