Ok for those of you who don't know what that is or why I am so excited.. this is the LAST piece of paperwork I need to send to the agency. It is the Notice of Favorable Determination Concerning Application for Advanced Processing of Orphan Petition. This means we will make the agency's deadline!! All I need to do is spend a few days in NYC getting it certified and authenticated and off to the agency it goes. The next step is the agency will review all the paperwork and translate it and send it off to China. This is called DTC. Then when China gets it they log it in, LID. The LID is important because they match children with families by the LID date. So everyone with a LID before us gets matched first. That is why it's so important to get LID asap! THEN WE WAIT!
I bought Raven a couple of books from Barnes & Noble this weekend. One about a panda and another about a cat, both board books. They were on clearance so why not. Can never have enough books!
Now that we KNOW we are meeting the deadline, it's so much easier to refer to the baby by name, even though she probably will not be born until next year. She might not even be conceived yet!
Life is good! (I saw that on a spare tire on the back of someone's car today as I was going to get the I-171H notarized - how appropriate!)
