So what's next?

Everyone asks so what's next?
Well also yesterday our dossier was sent to China. That is referred to as DTC = Dossier to China.
So next we wait for our LID = Log in date for our dossier with the CCAA. This can be about 2-4 weeks after China receives our dossier.
Then we wait for LOA = Letter of Acceptance and that will come about 50 - 150 days after LID. According to our agency the average is about 3-4 months.
Which this is the hard part waiting for 3-4 months. But we have lots going on, so hopefully this will help pass the time.
Then we wait for TA = Travel Approval. They say that our referral to adopt her is not "official" until we receive TA. I sure hope that nothing goes wrong while we wait for TA. This usually does not happen, so we won't worry tooo much. After TA it is usually anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months to go travel to pick our little girl up.
Sometime after TA we are also waiting for our CA = Consulate appointment which determines when we can travel.

So to sum it up here is what we are waiting for
LID
LOA
TA
CA
and on average it takes about 6 months, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.
Which by my calculations should be in October or November sometime. I would love for it to be in September tho.
