Getting everything straight in the crazy process of adoption is tough! The adoption process can be broken down into three distinct steps: the home study, dossier, and the post LOA/referral paperwork. We are officially DTC--Dossier to China! What does this mean? Well all of our paperwork, everything we have been working towards since January, is finally sent to China.
We received our state-certified USCIS I-797/ I800A Approval Notice copy, then we sent it in to the Chinese Consulate in Houston, which was forwarded directly to our agency in STL, which completed our dossier, and then sent on to China. We are now DTC (Dossier to China!)
A few weeks (4-6 weeks) after our dossier arrives in China, it will be logged into the CCAA. The day our paperwork is logged into the system is known as your LID. After our LID, we will wait for a referral, which will include a photo and some medical information about our sweet baby. The wait depends on so many factors, and there is no definite timeline; but we are closer and closer to Lottie Lee and continue to pray she is happy, healthy and cannot wait to meet our daughter!
