A little bit less of me!

As I Suspected...

But didn't have the heart to admit to myself...

I received confirmation from my agency today that my Official DTC was April 5th. They explained that they batch dossiers and send on the first of the month. In order to make the first of a month send date you need to have your completed dossier in the facilitators hands before the 10th of the previous month. They received mine on Feb 27th. Therefore it was sent with the April 1st Batch. So, at least I now have confirmation that it was received by the CC*A and with the speed of issuing LID's lately I can *assume* (and i use that word loosely at this point) that I will still have a pre-May LID. It wouldn't be IA if there wasn't frustration, right???

And what's one more month in the grand scheme of things.....

So I am officially DTC 4/5/07!!!!

Congratulations on being DTC!

I remember how relieved we felt just
to get passed the paper chase part of the journey. It truly is a wonderful
relief!

Take Care,

Congrats on being DTC! You have a GREAT attitude :) Let the countdown begin!

Kelly & Todd said...

Yeah for you - that is wonderful news. I've read on the March DTC Yahoo Group that some people received their LID's in as little as 20-days. I bet anything that you will make it before the May 1st rule change. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

oh honey...I am sorry you are DTC later than you thought. It only took us 19 days to be LID and I am hearing as short as 2 weeks. You will be fine. Your daughter is waiting in China!
