Basically, it&#8217;s China&#8217;s response to our dossier\/letter of intent asking us if we REALLY want to adopt him.  Uh, yeah.  <\/p>\n<p>So, we signed it, filled out more paperwork, and sent it on to our agency.  Our social worker should have our home study update (required since we moved) to CCAI early next week.  Then, they send it all on to USCIS (US immigration) and the approval process with them begins.  We&#8217;re guesstimating travel in October or November.  I think I mentioned that already, and it seems we&#8217;re still on track.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice seeing a new picture of his sweet face while we&#8217;re in the waiting phase.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another birthday party with cake, and where&#8217;s Dylan?
