It's official!!!

Well, we turned in our application to Great Wall Adoption Agency on Thursday, October 16th... and last night, October 17th at 6:30 p.m. we got the call.... "Is this Melissa? (yes),First I'm sorry to call so late but we wanted to let you know before the weekend that we've received your application and have processed it and reviewed it... Welcome to the China Adoption Program!!!" Wow, I was not expecting that phone call to take place just one day later (it usually takes 4 to 7 days)but it sure made our day and weekend! Our next main steps are to have a home study done and collect lots of paper work to send to China (ie: birth certificates, marriage license, Immigration forms, fingerprinting etc., etc.). They say the timeline to collect and have all this done is between 3 and 6 months so our goal is 3 months! We'll keep you posted!!
