Paper Pregnancy Is Complete

We have officially mailed our Dossier to Great Wall. The adoption agency will now go through and make sure everything is in order and then it will likely be sent to China on Friday, Oct. 27th. Once to China, the agency will hand deliver the Dossier to the China Center for Adoption Affairs where they will translate the documents and provide us with our log-in date. The log-in date is huge as this is the date that we will use to receive our referral. When the agency receives referrals, they simply send out a mass email to there families letting them know that those with a log-in date of this will be receiving their referrals. We are entering the phase now of just waiting. Last we heard, the referral process is taking upwards of 14 months. This could speed up or it could slow even more. We are hoping maybe for an early Christmas present next year. We are one step closer to bringing Maylee home and we are so excited. As we learn more, we will be sure to post and keep everyone update.
