We Are DTC!!!
DTC is adoption lingo for "Dossier To China".
834798817500 is the FedEx tracking number on the package going to China with our Dossier.
We are amazed that we are at this point already! The process we began last December has come to its first major goal. I feel like I've said that a number of times on this journal, but this one is really big. We don't have any more of the busy-work, paper chase tasks to complete. We have some waiting to do, and then we start the REAL process.
So how much waiting is there now?
Well, first we are waiting for LID. That's "Log In Date", the day our dossier is "logged-in" at the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs). This will probably take one to two weeks -- could be a few days, could be a month. Once we get there, it will take about 8 - 9 weeks to get TA (Travel Approval).
Once we have TA it's pretty much get our tickets and go. If you do the math it looks like we will be traveling by early August! This has pretty much been our "aggressive" goal. We wanted to make this happen as quickly as possible. There were a number of times when things seemed to slow down for us, but really it has gone pretty smoothly. This is because Tina has been doing an amazing job of keeping everything organized and following up on everything each step of the way.
It won't be long now, and we will be on our way to bring Kai home!
