After what has happened the past few weeks we are not as excited about submitting our dossier.  We are just waiting for something else to go wrong or waiting to hear we missed something.  We are very stressed right now, so tomorrow I’m going to get some fireworks to shake up the neighborhood.  Late last night we printed photos, made copies and assembled 4 dossier packages.  Then we FedExed the original dossier and one copy to GWCA.  Thanks to Becky’s family for putting up with us while we took family photos for our dossier.  We reviewed everything several times so hopefully everything is right, we’ll see.  Now we can try to relax and get the house ready for Morgan, we still have a lot to accomplish.  The deck still needs to be finished and then we need to installing the sprinkler system in the backyard to get the grass soft and green for little feet.  Inside the house we have been organizing, purging, painting and constructing all for the arrival of a little girl.  I don’t know if I would be going to this much effort if this was our biological child, but we want this child to feel wanted, welcome, Loved and needed and she will be.  Now provided everything is ok we have moved on to the Waiting stage.  GWCA will forward our Dossier to CCAA (Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs) to be reviewed.  First we’ll get our DTC (Dossier to China) date then we’ll wait for an additional 8-10 months for our referral.  When we get our referral we’ll get a picture of our Daughter and you had better believe we’ll post that picture.  For those of you that don’t know we don’t get to pick the child, China does that for us so cross your fingers and wish us luck.
