DTC today! Heritage received our dossier via FedEx, let us know that it looked great, they added the finishing touches to the presentation and it's on its way to China via DHL! (In less than a business day, too! Wow!)

Our dossier will be translated from a faxed version while the original is in transit, and then the translated dossier will be delivered to the CCAA.

We await a Log-In Date. I feel so much better now, knowing that I've done everything I could possibly do to make things go smoothly and quickly. Papers did not stay on my desk any longer than was absolutely necessary, usually no more than a few hours; I always tried to send things off as soon as I possibly could (and acted as my own courier to the Secretary of State a few times, too!). It's really paid off, because we have gone from an approved application to DTC in less than 3 months (87 days, actually - but who's counting?). Having a copy machine at home and a FedEx account has been the key! Zitao has waited more than 6 years for her family. She shouldn't have to wait a single minute longer than is necessary now that we have found her. We've done all we can do; now it's up to the China Center for Adoption Affairs.

We're coming, sweetie!
