Today we got our fingerprints done. It really feels like we're getting close to completing the paper chase. Once we get our I-171H back from the BCIS, all we have left to do is...
- get everything notarized
- send it all off to the secratary of state to be certified
- then send it all to the Chinese Consulate to be authenticated
- and then send everthing to CCAI
Once CCAI receives the final dossier, they will check it over 2 or 3 times to make sure it's complete and w/out mistakes. Then they send it off to China. When China receives it they will check it over and if they find it to be accurate, then we'll officially be "DTC" (Dossier to China). At that point we enter the waiting stage. And from what I understand, the wait is about 10 months... So we've still got a long way to go. But time sure has a way of flying when you're going through an experience like this. Seems like only yesterday we were researcing adoption agencies...

God bless. His timing is perfect ...
