We PASSED! Today we learned that our dossier has completed the review process! That means that there was no problem with our paperwork and that the Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs has given us the green light to adopt a child from their country! This is the next big step after being Logged In and we are thrilled! It's a big load off our minds. If you get stuck in the review room, then your file is taken out of the pile and NOT put back where it was taken out! It stays stuck in limbo until you fix the problem with your paperwork which can take months sometimes.
Somewhere far away our family's story and pictures were scrutinized, the file was stamped with ACCEPTANCE, and someone picked "us" up and carried us down the hall to the Matching Room. And I didn't feel a thing! HA! It's a cool thought though!
Now our file is waiting for someone else to pick it up and match it with our little girl. We've sort of just gotten pregant (AGAIN) because it will probably be 9 months before that happens. Then when they match us, they send the photos and file to our adoption agency and we get the call that we have a daughter!
Maybe that's more info than you needed to hear, but it's wonderful news for us. It means there's actually been some movement in this turtle race we're in. We're one step closer!!
