WOOHOO- DTC TODAY

Can you believe it...our paperwork is finally COMPLETE and off to China courtesy of FedEx! Yes, we are officially DTC (Dossier To China) Today and I cannot even tell you how happy I am to reach this very important milestone. I received the following from Hope today:

"CONGRATULATIONS...your dossier is going to China TODAY, June 7, 2007, via FedEx International Priority! You can track the package at www.fedex.com and find out exactly when it arrives in China at the China Center of Adoption Affairs. Attached are photos of your dossier so you'll know exactly what this bundle of special documents (that you have worked so hard on for the past several months) looks like as it goes off to your child's homeland! Today is your official "DTC" date (Dossier to China). Congratulations on getting this far!! Once your dossier is received and logged in, it is approximately 3 to 4 months from your official log in date that we would receive your Letter of Seeking Confirmation. It then takes approximately 1 to 3 weeks after we send your official acceptance of the referral back to China to receive approval to travel. Families usually travel within 2 - 4 weeks after receiving their Travel Approval.The countdown of approximately 3 to 4 months will begin once we receive your official log-in date from the CCAA, which we receive via postal mail approximately 4-6 weeks after your dossier arrives in China. As soon as I receive your log-in date ("LID"), I will email it to you, but if you do not hear from me, it simply means I have not received it yet. "

So now the next step will be to finally get an official LID (Log in Date) back from the CCAA. I am so excited. Here is the final pic of our docs that went today.
