Dossier Approved from the San Francisco Chinese Consulate.
Dossier is ready to be handed over to CCAA (the organization that
handles adoptions in China) in Beijing. We also have found out that
there will be 4-5 other families traveling with us. |
2-20-2003 -- |
Yes! We have finished all the required paperwork for the Dossier.
It has all been handed over to the agency (ASIA). The agency will
certify all personal documents and send for approval from the Chinese
Consulate in San Francisco. |

We Decide to join Club Sport and get in shape in preparation
for bringing home our Daughter. (Yes, I am aware of how lame that
sounds).
Adoption paperwork continues.. |
| 10-2002 -- |
We are given a packet describing all of the paperwork that will
have to be done for the Dossier. It is slightly overwhelming. |
9-2002 -- |
Our funding for the adoption has been approved. My ass belongs to
the bank now (and my employer). |
9-2002 -- |
We decided to leave PLAN and join ASIA. ASIA concentrates only on
Chinese adoptions and is closer in locale to us. |
Fall-2002 -- |
We decide to join PLAN for an overseas adoption in China. |
Fall-2002 -- |
After a lot of research we decide that overseas adoption is what
we want to do. At the moment China appears to be the most governed
and safest overseas adoption process, to us. |
Summer-2002 -- |
Considering adoption options, and attend a class on international
and domestic adoption offered by PLAN. |
