A journey into adoption

One family's journey into adopting a child from China. Covers the process, education and waiting for a match.

That was quick!

The adoption agency said it typically takes 5 working days to get approval to begin the process after they receive the application. Well, that was the fastest 5 days I've ever seen! My wife mailed the application to them yesterday, and they called her today saying we're approved, pending references. They have sent the form to all our references via email and we've contacted them all to give them a heads up that it should be in their inboxes.
Our next step is orientation on August 12. There we learn more about the dossier we have to write to get approval from the Chinese government, and we also get matched up with a social worker to do our home study.
So for now, we wait for our references to come back and get ready for orientation.
We are very excited!

It all sounds very time consuming and complicated! I am not even sure what a dossier is! so i can't imagine writing one!!haha
Glad things are going good so far!.Seems pretty intense to me to have things triple checked!
