God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

Happy DTC Day!

Today is a milestone in the adoption of our daughter!  I think the best way to explain the stage we're in is through the e-mail we received today...


Dear David and Tiffany,
 
I am delighted to tell you that I sent your dossier to China today!  Hooray!  Now all the activity is over, and we sit back and wait.  Your PA is complete, and we will get back to you if we have any questions about it.
 
Today’s date is your DTC (dossier to China) date.  The dossier will be logged into the CCCWA system in about a week.  The date this is done will be your log-in date, or LID, but we might not be informed what that date is until a month or so later.
 
Your dossier will be translated into Chinese, and then the reviewed by CCCWA personnel.  If they have any questions, they will let us know at that time.  While this doesn’t happen often, it is our experience that most questions can be answered with a minimum of new documentation. 
 
Once we have your LID, we will start trying to match you with one of the children whose file is entered into the on-line system.  Because CHSFS is closed Thursday and Friday of next week, it may not be possible to try to match you in November.  As a practical matter, you will probably be able to be matched at the end of December.  In the week or so before that, our matching staff will contact you to discuss your medical checklist, gender preference, etc.
 
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with further questions, and congratulations on  passing this milestone!
