DTC

Woohoo! We just got a call from our adoption worker to let us know that our dossier documents have been verified and authenticated through the US State Department and the Chinese Consulate. They are now being copied and prepared by our adoption agency and will be sent to the China Center for Children’s Welfare and Adoption (CCCWA) TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the big milestones in our quest to bring Juliana home. We will now be waiting for the CCCWA to send us a log in date (LID), which typically takes 3-4 weeks. Please pray that things move quickly and smoothly!
