Update about Carsen

Our agency requested an update about Carsen and we received it today.  We are very excited.  He weighs almost 19 pounds and 29 inches long.  He is able to sit independently.  He stands and walks in the baby walker.  He likes to be hugged and cuddled.  He likes to play with other children and he is outgoing.  His favorite toy is a ball.  We were very glad to hear that he is doing well and continues to grow and develop as he should. 

LID!!!!!

LID
We were notified today by our agency that our dossier has been officially logged in by the CCAA as of today, April 25th.  Now onto to the next step, which is awaiting the CCAA to issue our LSC (letter seeking confirmation).  Which is where we will officially accept the referral of Carsen.  This step usually takes a couple of months, so hopefully we will have this by the middle of June.

DTC!!!

 Our dossier is headed out of the country!!! Finally after chasing this paper and that paper across the state, all the while chasing a notary, its all done and on its way.  The agency said it should arrive in China on Monday.

I800A Approval!

Our I800A application was approved on March 18th and we received it in the mail on the 24th.  Now its on its way to be authenticated and then back to the agency so we can be DTC (dossier to China).  The completion of our dossier is huge!  It entails a moutain of authenticated paperwork and that has taken us the past several months to compile. Then we will wait for our LID (log in date) and then the wait for the CCWA to issue our LSC (letter seeking confirmation) begins.  Slowly, but surely we are moving forward!  Stay tuned for more updates....

Really new pictures!

So it turns out the pictures we had received a couple of weeks ago were sent to us be accident, they were not actually our son.  Needless to say we now have received new pictures that are definately our child.
