It's About Time

After my last post, I decided that I needed to start making phone calls to make something happen with our U.S. approval that we had been waiting for. I emailed the office in charge of processing our application, with no response once again. I then called the woman who did our home study. She contacted the Oklahoma office (who emailed her back within hours) to ask them to look into it. They did-they emailed the Dallas office who in turned emailed my home study provider, asking, "What can we do to help?" Well she told them exactly what they could do to help and I received an email that very afternoon saying that our application had been approved and our approval letter would arrive shortly. We began making plans for the next step, thinking that the letter would arrive sometime this week. In fact, no, it arrived 2 days after I received the email telling us we were approved. SO-we scrambled to get everything together to get our paperwork ready for state certification and authentication.....more on that in the next post. But Hallelujah!!!!! Our approval is in and we can get the finishing touches on our dossier and get it to China. For me, that will be a huge burden off of my shoulders. I have been working on our dossier since January-so to finally know that China has it and it is out of my hands will be a big relief.
