Well, things are moving along nicely in the adoption department. We received our certified home study from the court on Wednesday so we were able to send off our first set of dossier documents to Great Wall. They got the docs today and we received an e-mail saying that everything looks great and they would send them off for certification this afternoon.
A copy of our home study also made its way to USCIS this week so we are anxiously awaiting our fingerprinting appointment from them. We could have the elusive I-171H in a few weeks. It (and more money of course!) is the only thing that we need for the second and last set of documents for Great Wall. Then we sit back and wait (and shop!) A December DTC (Dossier To China) date doesn't seem likely so we are crossing our fingers for January. That could translate into an August referral and an October travel date if current trends hold. We aren't in a super hurry-we do have four children including a two-year-old currently keeping us busy. However, we MUST avoid travelling in November or December since Matt is owned by UPS during those months. It wouldn't be a great thing for his career to take off for 2+ weeks during "peak."
Since Matt and the kiddipoos were off today, we drove to Phoenix/Sun City to meet Jenn's parents at Jenn's Grandma's house. We stuffed ourselves at Sweet Tomatoes and enjoyed looking at pictures from Jim and Judy's trip to China. It was unbelievable! We recognized many of the backdrops from the "Big Bird in China" video. They even brought us some souvenirs. Can't wait for the big souvenir we'll bring home next year!
