It's been awhile since we've updated. We first want to thank everyone for their generous support. We are even further along with some donations that came personally to us. Thank you! We are still around $6,000 needed. 

June and part of July was a whirl wind of papers and authenticating. We made several trips to the state's office and Chinese consulate. FINALLY, our dossier was sent to China this week! For the first time this process, things are out of our hands. We are now waiting on China for our next steps, which will be that we are logged into China's system (logged in date). Then the match for our child will begin!
We still have a haul of waiting ahead of us, but we are so excited in these steps of the process.
