I realize now that almost all my posts have lots of exclamation points. It's because everything that happens in the adoption process seems like a big deal!!
Anyway, we were hanging out in the living room this afternoon & the UPS truck drove by - we all ran to the front door and sure enough, the dossier was back from the Chinese Consulate!! At this point, it feels like handling something very very fragile, and irreplaceable - which I guess it is - so we carefully opened it up, made copies of the cool Chinese stamps that authenticate each document, and packed it back up to ship to the home office of Holt International in Eugene, Oregon.
The home office takes up to 3 weeks for final processing (crossing all the "t"s and such), then ships it to Beijing! It's really cool to have the dossier out of our hands and en route to China!
Much of this doesn't feel real yet, but this is a medium-sized step towards reality, and that feels great!

Oh surely it will go next Friday. How exciting!
When do you expect to hear something from Holt? Amy
