We started our adoption of Cora with an application to WACAP on 04/20/2012. We are sending our dossier out to China (by way of WACAP) almost one month before our deadline of 12/09/2012.

The original estimated time of travel to China is 04/2013.

Good news! ...Bad news.

Good news! Our documents are here from the Chinese Consulate!

Bad news, we still have to wait for the two we did not do properly to come in. They signed for the documents on October 11, 2012 so we are hoping they will be back to us by October 21, 2012.

The Chinese Consulate puts a stamp and sticker on the backside of the Authenticated page from our Secretary of State Great Seal. It is very cool, the kids loved it. There was a little delay because the Consulate was closed for the Moon Festival and then again for Columbus Day.

We still need to have our passport pictures redone for our dossier but other than that we are ready for our dossier to be sent in. We are starting to think about what needs to be done to get ready to travel.
