I-171 RECEIVED

Yeah....we're doing a happy dance. OK, not quite dancing but maybe a little toe tapping. We received our I-171, our final document needed to complete our dossier. We had it notarized, and it is officially on its way to Tallahassee to be Certified. When we received it back we will send the whole bunch of paperwork to Houston to be Authenticated. Then I will send it to our local agency rep here who will check to make sure everthing is in order and then hopefully send it to the main office. Then it is DTC (Dossier To China) where it is translated and then sent to the CCAA (Chinese Children Adoption Association...I think) and they will Log it in. We then will receive an official LID (Log In Date) and our wait begins!!! The current wait is around 13-14 months and projected to get longer.
