Update

It's been a while since I've updated everyone on what's going on with the adoption. We are still waiting on new measurements. However, you can see from Lillie Mei's most recent picture she looks like she is quite healthy! Our case manager was out of town last week and thought they would come while she was gone. She is checking on this but still hasn't heard anything.

We have completed all of our paperwork (our dossier). I spent Monday in Raleigh with mom so we could get everything authenticated at the Secretary of State's office. The plan was to pick them up at 2:30, overnight them to Washington and then they would be in the Charleston office by May 29th. When I went to pick them up, 3 of them were notarized incorrectly so they had to be sent back on Tuesday. With Memorial Day on Monday it now looks like we should everything to Charleston office by June 1st.

As far as a timeline goes this is my best guess at this point. It is very similar to what I had predicted before.

Dossier to China (DTC) - June 6th
Log in Date (LID)- June 30th
Travel Approval (TA)- October 26th
Travel to China- November 30th
Home- December 14th

Time from DTC to LID could be as little as 1 week to 1 month. Current average for LID to TA is 116 days. Most people travel about 4-5 weeks after TA.
