YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We received an email this morning that CCAI our agency had delivered our paperwork to the Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs(CCAA) So it is where it needs to be. We are now waiting on a Log In Date(LID). This is the date the the CCAA will use to match us with Emma. CCAI told us that it could be up to 4 weeks before we receive this date. I pray that it will come quickly.

We are offically DTC 11-07-2006
We received an email this afternoon to tell us that we are offically DTC. This means Dossier to China. This is a really big step. So now what happens?? We are now waiting to hear that our Dossier arrived in China at CCAI offices. CCAI is our agency that is handling our adoption. After CCAI receives our paperwork then they will hand deliver it for us to the CCAA (Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs). They will then contact us with our LID (Log in Date). This will be the date that we use for our count down to our referral.

This blog is dedicated to the journey for our daughter Emma Grace........We invite friends and family to join us here to follow in our Journey. Hopefully this will help us to keep up with the adoption timeline and give us something to do while we wait and wait and wait : )

This morning in China a baby cries hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes. Her mother has left her in this public place. Another lost daughter of the Chinese race. Someone passing by has heard her soft moan. She’s soon quickly taken to a foster home. It’s here she’ll reside in the care of another. Until she’s adopted by a brand new mother.
That very same moment, in the U.S.A. A woman cries as she starts to pray. Her heart is heavy but filled with much love. She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of.“Dear Jesus I ask that your arms would be Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me Guard her in China ‘till I make my way And then in my arms forever she’ll stay.”
