A Year Ago....

I can hardly believe that it was a year ago that we started on this crazy adoption journey. On March 30, 2006 we submitted our application to CCAI. On April 1, 2006 we submitted our application to Glenkirk (our home study agency). I thought I would post our time-line to show what we have gone through so far in getting Diana.

03-30-06 Sent in application to CCAI
04-01-06 Sent in application to Glenkirk
04-13-06 Had first home study meeting
04-15-06 CCAI approval
04-17-06 Sent CCAI first payment
04-20-06 2ND home study meeting
05-06-06 2rd home study meeting
05-16-06 Final home study meeting
07-15-06 Finger prints taken for I-171H
08-31-06 I-171H finally arrives
09-06-06 Dossier sent to CCAI
09-13-06 Dossier out of critical review
09-19-06 Dossier to China (DTC)
10-17-06 Dossier logged in by the CCAA (LID)
11-12-06 Lisa's first vivid dream about Diana
01-30-06 Dave has a dream about a baby girl being abandoned and we adopt her

I know we still have a long wait ahead of us but so far its been good for the most part. I have met so many people in person and on line in the adoption community who I know will be lifelong friends. This journey is definitely worth it!
