Dossier COMPLETE

Wow...what a day yesterday was! We FINALLY received our paperwork back from the DC Chinese Consulate with the final authentication stamps before everything can head to China in the form a of our dossier! Of course there was a hiccup along the way...but Todd stepped up and really showed me what a wonderful Father he will be to our baby girl. I think I fell in love all over again....

So, last night, we packaged everything up and make 2 photocopies of all that paperwork and got it in the last Fed Ex pick up to head to TX to our agency for review and submission to CHINA! I can't believe this day finally arrived. We started the paperchase pn December 17, 2008. There were some reasons it took us so long...that I will discuss one day, but mostly it was our agency we used for the home study. (Slow as a snail) But now, we are hopeful for Friday. Dossiers leave our agency and go to China every Friday. I really hope there aren't any errors and we make it this week. That would be the best gift to us ever right now.

Keep posted...next up....LID!! YAY!!

We are headed to Charleston this weekend for our God-daughter's baptism and to celebrate our Best Friends Birthday....what a fun weekend to one of our favorite places. : )
