In Translation

We're done.

After paperchasing for nearly six months, we can now say we've done everything humanly possible to make this adoption happen, and at last it's in someone else's hands. Our dossier has passed critical review and has moved on to translation!

Although I'm inclined to shout the news from the rooftops for everyone to hear and share in our joy (and relief!), in many ways reaching this milestone seems quite anti-climatic. Maybe it's because I know there is still a long row to hoe before we bring our daughter home. Our dossier will be in translation for less than a week, and then it will be sent to China to be logged in. Thanks to all who have supported us this far...dig in your heels....we're bunkering down for a long wait ahead.

Congratulations,
We are in the same boat - translation as of yesterday. I feel the same way - it is sort of anti-climatic. I really hope the wait speeds up!

Congratulations! It took us almost a year. It was anti-climactic, but also a relief. Let the wait begin!

Congratulations!!! Even though it feels anti-climatic, you go ahead and shout it from the roof tops.

Yeah Heather!!! It is a milestone just for the fact that you are totally done on your end...LID will be real soon and THEN you'll know true relief. It's amazing to me how actual weeks pass by now so fast when I have nothing "paper related" on my mind...
