When can we expect to get Lillie Mei home?

• We still have a lot of time left on our adoption journey. If everything goes as scheduled (doubtful) this is what our timeline could look like.
  
  
• Home Study written by 5-4
  
• Pre-Approval from US Citizenship and Immigration Services by 5-11
  
• Dossier Complete by 5-14
  
• Authentication process complete by 5-31 (this involves authentication in Raleigh and Washington DC). I may be off on this one -not sure. We will use a courier to speed it up.
  
• Dossier to China (DTC) by 6-10
  
• Log-in Date (LID) by 7-10
  
• Travel Approval by 11-10
  
• Travel to China by 11-30
  
• Home by 12-14
  
  My original hope was to have her home by Thanksgiving but I'm trying to be realistic. There were a lot of changes in Chinese adoption that took effect 5-1 so it may cause some delays even with special needs children. We have no way of knowing at this point. Thanks for your prayers!
