Ok this is some very exciting stuff! our next step in our adoption process is the matching room. This is when the China Center of Adoption Affairs matches us with an orphanage then a little orphan girl, who we will call Lucy!
I attached the following update from our adoption agency:
CCAA Completes Review of Dossiers from April of 2007
The CCAA has finished the review of dossiers and paperwork registered with their office in April of 2007. The timeframe for the dossier review process varies as it is based upon the number of dossiers that are logged in during the particular month that is currently under review.
What Does it Mean when My Dossier Has Been Reviewed?
Families often ask what it means when a dossier has been reviewed. The review process is when the CCAA is checking all documents in a family’s dossier. If the CCAA requires any additional information or has any questions about the family, they will contact the agency to request this information and the family will then be contacted to follow up on anything that is needed or requested.
Though the dossier review stage is most often when any issues or questions about a family’s dossier are addressed, the CCAA can sometimes request additional information once a family’s dossier is in the matching room. Though it is more rare, families should be aware that they can still be asked to provide additional information at that stage as well.
So wait! Then wait some more... then just wait!!
John and I are doing well at this point. We know it is just time. We are prepared and really looking forward to the next chapter in our life. I will keep everyone posted as we are unsure of the time frame of the referral. When the phone call and then the famous Fed-Ex package comes we probably will think it is a prank call or something.
We would like to Thank everyone who has been praying for us and who continue to ask us how things are going. It is an encouragement to us both and we look forward to the day we bring her home!
