Our Dossier is Approved

These are the pictures of the night before we sent off our dossier. Obviously without a professional photographer we had to get creative to get all of us in the pictures. It was hilarious (atleast for me and Chris). By the end of the event, I think we were about the only ones not in tears! Needless to say, however, we were thrilled to pass that milestone of sending off our dossier. On Friday, we got the news that our dossier passed inspection. Our SW told us that we have been approved and we are OFFICIALLY on the referral wait list. She said that we now have about a 7-9 month wait ahead of us before we get the referral of our beautiful daughter. That means that around Feb-April is our estimated time. After the referral of course we would need to pass court dates in ET and then we would have a travel date about 2 months after that. Despite the appearance of a long wait ahead, I think the worst is behind us. We are thrilled!
