Dossier on its way to China!

Received the following email today from CCAI:

CONGRATULATIONS, Dave & Robin,
                                                    
Here’s the news you’ve long been waiting for—your dossier was sent to China today (12/30/2011)!  Hooray and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here’s what to expect for the next month:

The CCCWA will receive your dossier in approximately 3-5 days. Our China Department will contact you by email once your dossier has been received by our representatives in China and hand-delivered to the CCCWA.

The CCCWA usually logs in dossiers within 3 weeks of their receipt.  This Log-In Date is called your LID, the date that you may “count down” to your referral.  We will e-mail you as soon as we have confirmation of your LID and will then give you instructions on how to download your LID Packet.

Now that you’ve reached this huge milestone, the ladies in the Child Match Department will be monitoring your file and contacting you with regards to any required updates and/or information that’s needed between now and when you receive your match.

Again, congratulations!

Great news!

Paperwork Finished!

Received our Authenticated Paperwork from the Assistant Stork this morning! The Department of State put a cover letter on each document and then ran a gromet through the stack to "seal" the document.  The Chinese Embassy put their stamp on the back side of the Department of State's Letter.  Ran to Office Max after work and made copies for our Dossier package to CCAI.  Compiled our paperwork and made it to the UPS terminal to send to CCAI. I have included a few pictures of our dossier to see how much paper we have created.
