Another Popular Question

When? When will we be going to China? When will we be adopting Tya? This is a question I really don't have the answer to. Anyone who follows the links on my page to other blogs or reads other blogs or is adopting from China too probably already knows the answer to these questions. The answer is uncertain. We had heard 14 to 16 months from login date and now that has increased to 18 months, that means if our login date is May or June we will not be travellling until December of 2007 or January 2008...yikes! Maybe things will speed up or maybe things will slow down even more...it is anyone's guess. So if I forget to post any updates on this it is safe to assume the time is atleast that long, but if I hear any good news I will be writing pronto!

Answer

I love this answer to the very popular question of ... Why China? Why didn't I think of that?

This is a neat article I read that describes many of the things I feel about adoption.

DTC...soon

Wellll... last night we received our email from Jamie at FOI and this is what it said:

"Hello everyone,

We will be shipping out your dossiers to China, back to your respective provincial ministries (for ON-directly from us), whereby they will be sent off for logging in to China.

We will be preparing a package and a letter listing this information. The package will likely be completed this weekend. In it, you will find a list of your potential group members, as well as other documents from us, and any documents that will be returned to you.

If you are wondering what your next step will be, all details will be in the package. Of course, we will be giving you some homework to complete over the next few months. For example, we will be ordering you a CIC sponsorship to arrive at your home. Wait for instructions to arrive from us, as it will help with this piece of homework....

Congratulations to you all.

Have a wonderful weekend"

Asa Carolyn says celebrate every little step.

DTC ?????

FOI called tonight and they have our file ready to send to China so DTC (Documents to China) for us should be in the next day or so. According to Jamie the guy I was talking to at FOI...very nice and helpful..."it will be interesting to see what happens". He said this because he knows how concerned we are with the wait times. 14 to 16 months after DTC that means at best July of 2007.....
