DTC & LID!

Our Dossier has been sent to China and Logged In at the CCCWA. Our official Log In Date is January 20, 2015! Now we wait for the Dossier to be translated to Chinese. After translation, our Dossier will be reviewed and hopefully we will receive final approval. Everything is moving much faster than we had planned, but we are very excited and hope to bring Elana home soon. I have added a timeline on the right side of the blog for anyone interested in the process.

Please take a look at our Facebook auction and watch for other giveaways coming up soon.

Auction

We are having an auction on Facebook to help raise funds for travel expenses to bring Elana home. There are a lot of items that would make great Valentine Gifts, Birthday Gifts or Mother's Day gifts. Please take a look and share with your friends.

Trying to catch up!

Since I last posted, the adoption has been moving forward. We submitted our application to an adoption agency, completed our home study, had our fingerprints done, received I800 approval and now finishing up our authentications. But, the most exciting news is submitting Letter of Intent (LOI) for a little girl in China. We received Pre-Approval October 8. She is 20 months old. We hope to submit our Dossier in January for final approval.

I contacted our Social Worker this week and will be starting our new home-study soon. In the meantime, we have been busy making more bracelets and blankets. I have also gathered many items to auction off on Facebook (more to come soon) but to give a preview - Bath & Body Works and Yankee Candle.

To comply with several of the sites I post on, we are asking for donations for our fundraiser and in return you will receive a hand-made item. Donations can be made through our PayPal button or sent by mail. I will provide the mailing address privately. Thanks for looking and please share!
