Welcome! 欢迎

This Blog is dedicated to the Adoption of our Little Chinese girl Isabella "Ella". We began the adoption process in November of 2009. We hope to have completed the process and the adoption by the end of 2010. Check back as we update the process including updates while we are in China!

Summer 2010

It has been a busy summer. All of the required paperwork was finished in the spring and our dossier was sent to China in early June. The dossier is the binder of all the official paperwork that took me 4 months to gather (and that was working on the paperwork almost everyday!!!) There are two important dates when you have finished the paperwork. The first is DTC or Dossier to China. The other is the LID date or the Log in Date. Our DTC was June 16th and our LID date was June 24th. Now our adoption agency can officially begin to look for our daughter. It is exciting at this point. Our adoption agency is European Adoption Consultants (EAC) out of Strongsville, Ohio. We are working with Carla in the China department. She is great! Carla informed us that a group of girls available for adoption will be released either this week or next week. Hopefully we get a match!
