DTC!

今天我们又完成了一个重要的里程碑。领养中介告诉我们，所有的文件都已由中国领事馆认证完毕，并已寄往中国收养中心。下星期一他们应收到。然后把我们的文件立档在案，并通知我们立档日期，又称”LID”。我们就等待最后的批准，令人着急的等待。
Today I received an email from my adoption agency saying that they had completed authentication of our dossier documents and mailed our dossier to CCAA. It should arrive at CCAA on Monday, Nov 3. We are so happy to achieve this milestone. This is the best “treat” we have ever received for Halloween! CCAA will provide us with a log-in date (LID) after they receive our dossier. All we can do now is wait anxiously.
