DTC

                                                                   

Hmmmm what on earth? Is Cindy trying to get us to say this word, without any vowels in it, out loud?  Maybe?! But that would be no fun if I was not there to laugh at ya now.... because you know I would!  

No actually before I will reveal the definition of these three consonants, here is a picture of this strange thing.... 


   See!!!  That brings LOADS of clarity now doesn't it?!  Alright enough nonsense!  DTC is an acronym, since we LOVE those in this military business, that stands for dossier to China.  Yeah Cindy, super clear now, uh huh?  

Today our big packet of papers that got the blessing of the United States was sent forth to China.  In about 2 weeks China will have accepted our papers and given us another acronym....LID or Log In Date.  Not to get ahead of myself, cuz LID is for another blog post time, but DTC is a big hurdle in the adoption game.  

DTC is the first of three hurdles to get to LOA(Letter of Acceptance, the biggy that China says YES you can come get this youngin).  This simply means we are FINALLY cleared from the US side to adopt. 

Now our paperwork is in China's hands to make sure were meet their standards.  Nothing big you say.... tell me when it's over cuz we are getting weary of this process you say.... ok, I grant you that, but this keeps me going and going and going!!

                                                                                 

YUP... call me crazy, but that cute smile and goofy peace sign melts my heart.  Now back to reality and praying LID(log in date, just in case the letters are blurring together by now?) comes before 2 weeks!
