DTC Tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!


We returned from our day out at the Zoo, to find an email from the DfES (who cares what they are called now!!!) saying our papers would be ready to go to the CCAA in China TOMORROW!!!!!! Luckily it was early enough to still get hold of DHL and I've arranged for them to collect the package tomorrow between 12noon and 4pm :-)

It has seemed like a long hard slog to get to this stage, but 19 months and 1 week after first contacting our LA and 5 months and 3 days after passing approval panel WE ARE FINALLY DTC TOMORROW. Happy happy happy day :-)

YAY!!!!!! Great news Janet! I really hope it doesn't take too long to be logged in - and then begin 'The Wait'.

Thanks Cristina :-)

I'm hoping we are logged in quickly too - our Chinese medicals run out next month and I want to avoid having to repeat the blood tests (I hate needles!!).

Love
Janet
