We have completed our home study and have been approved by INS to adopt a foreign orphan. All of our paperwork is in the process of being authenicated by the Chinese consulates. When we get these documents back (probably in a couple of weeks) we will be able to send all the approved documents to our adoption agency.
From there our agency makes sure there are no problems and then sends our dossier to China where it will be translated into Chinese and then will go to the departments that choose a child for each couple. The referral takes about 6 months from the time the dossier is sent to China so it is a huge deal to get it sent off.
We are very close to DTC (dossier to China)! When we send it off, we will start decorating the baby's room.
Right now, we are working very hard to get the outdoor projects such as fences and gardens finished on our home since we know it will be harder to find the time to do them next year.
