We began our adoption process in March of 2008 with taking a leap of faith! We dove into all of the paperwork to prepare our dossier - paperwork, homestudy, certificates, state fingerprints, federal fingerprints, child abuse registery, state criminal investigations, Homeland Security investigations, doctor appointments, notorizations, state certifications, Chinese Embassy authentications. Finally on September 22nd we found Chan Hong Xing and notified China that we were interested in adopting this beautiful little 4 year old girl. On October 24th we were told that we had been pre-approved to adopt Kaycee. Now China gets all of our dossier and looks it over and on December 31st China said that we looked ok to adopt, but one more group of people in China needs to review our dossier and then we will be good to go. On February 6th we found out that we have our the official word to travel to China to adopt Kaycee. On February 10th we got our travel dates, we leave February 25th and return to the USA on March 12th!
