Well, our dossier is at our adoption agency as of yesterday! \u00c2\u00a0The paperchase is over! Sort of. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153officially\u00e2\u20ac\u009d over until the dossier is logged in at the China Center of Adoption Affairs. \u00c2\u00a0At that point, we get our LID (a.k.a. log in date) and the wait \u00e2\u20ac\u0153officially\u00e2\u20ac\u009d begins. \u00c2\u00a0Wait time from LID is approx. 12 months. \u00c2\u00a0It could shorten\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6it could lengthen. \u00c2\u00a0Can you guess what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m hoping for??? \u00c2\u00a0Our dossier will be at our agency for a total of about 2-3 weeks before it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sent to China. \u00c2\u00a0CCAI will let us know when it passes critical review, when it goes into translation, when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sent to China, and finally when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s logged in. \u00c2\u00a0So, guess what we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing? \u00c2\u00a0WAITING!!! \u00c2\u00a0lol\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
On another note, I was at gymnastics today waiting for the girls class to finish. \u00c2\u00a0While I wait, I either read or crochet. \u00c2\u00a0Today, I was working on the crochet edges on baby socks. \u00c2\u00a0I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve made about 7 pairs so far (can you imagine the sock drawer of our baby when this wait is over??). \u00c2\u00a0These socks also have a little ladybug button on the side\/edge of the sock. \u00c2\u00a0A lady sat down and began admiring my work. \u00c2\u00a0She asked if I sold them. \u00c2\u00a0I told her no, I was just passing time, we were adopting a baby girl and the socks would eventually be for her. \u00c2\u00a0Long story short, she is also adopting from China and got her referral this week!! \u00c2\u00a0She had the picture of her 7 month old Eliza with her. \u00c2\u00a0So cute! \u00c2\u00a0We plan on meeting at the next FCC waiting parents get together! \u00c2\u00a0Small world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
