Our dossier was sent to China on November 7th. This is a huge step in the adoption process. All of our work is finished. What happens now is that the dossier must be translated into Chinese and then will be sent to all the appropriate agencies for approval. Once it is approved, they will send it to the Matching Room which is where they match the parents to one of the babies they have waiting. When they find the right baby for us they will send us a referral. Then we get our approval to travel to China and go get her.
Right now we know we know we have six to seven months until we get our referral and then can travel about four to six weeks after that. So it is official that we are "expecting!" We had waited until our dossier went to China before we did any shopping or decorating of the babies room so now we get to do the fun stuff. We went shopping this past weekend looking at cribs and baby bedding. Ron is making some of the shelves and we are refinishing some furniture for the room so we won't have to buy too much but it is fun to shop anyway. I ordered our crib bedding today and it is pink pink pink! :)
