We got our documents back from the Chinese Consulate in Chicago this past Thursday (July 6th). So, they are authenticated now and are ready to be sent to our agency. We will be sending those out this coming Monday (along with some photos etc.), to arrive by Wednesday. Then they will be sent out with the rest of the those who got their paperwork to Great Wall of China Adoptions by Wednesday to CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs). A few weeks from now we will get our DTC date (documents to China and Logged In Date) letting us know when our file was logged in.

Then the wait begins. But I’d rather be waiting than paper chasing, so I don’t mind.
