LID!!!

We have our LID - June 13th!!!

I spoke with Beth from Great Wall and she said that the wait time is currently 30 months. They are being told by the CCAA that the wait time should peak by the end of 2008, then start to drop in 2009.

DTC!!!

We are DTC (Documents to China). YEA!!!

The next steps are:

• After the dossier is received by Great Wall in China, they will walk it into the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs) and we’ll get a Log In Date (LID). It typically takes about 6-8 weeks for the CCAA to send the agency the LID. The dossier is logged in pretty quickly, but it takes a while to get the date.
• Translation (CCAA translates all documents to Chinese);
• Review Room (CCAA reviews dossier for eligibility requirements); and
• Matching Room (CCAA matches us with child).

We are on our way.

Diedra from Great Wall sent an email yesterday - Our documents are with the courier for authentication at the Chinese embassy. We're almost done with that part of the process.
