DTC!!!

We are now DTC!!This means Dossier to China. Our agency mailed all of our documents today-the next stop is China! Now we just sit back and wait to be matched with our little girl. The closer we get, the harder the waiting becomes!

Dossier Complete

I heard from our dossier coordinator today, and she received my "employment letter" today from the Chinese Consulate. So she has everything and will be sending it off to China in the next few days. Now we are anxiously awaiting "the call!" It could be any day, it could still be a few months.

Bummer

I heard from our agency today, and I missed a document when putting together the dossier. Apparently I need a letter stating that I am a homemaker. When I looked at the checklist and saw Employment Letter, I assumed it just meant for Jason. Typing up the letter took me about two minutes, so it's no big deal. The big deal is that just like all of the other documents, it has to be notarized, certified, and authenticated. We are going to run to Springfield tomorrow on our way to St. Louis and get the letter certified, then it'll be sent to Chicago, then to our agency. Holt said everything else looked good. It's been really frustrating that I made this mistake, but I know that all things happen for a reason. The dossier will be on it's way to China in the timing God has planned.
