After 2 1/2 weeks of not hearing anything from CCAI, today I finally did, and it was not was I was expecting to hear. Instead of telling us that we were through critical review we found out that one document was not filled out the way should be and we need to have it corrected. Well, needless to say I was a little emotional. I thought I was ok with any timing God had in this process and yet I wasn't prepared to hear this news. My sweet husband came home early to comfort me and then went and bought me my two favorite treats, diet coke and Reeses Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. I really feel like I am pregnant, my emotions are so raw. The problem is I am not and most people can not really understand what I(we) are going through. To look at the positive side of this whole situation, the form we need fixed is a doctor's letter and it does not need to be notorized, or authenticated so that should save us some time. Unfortunately, when I called my doctor he is on vacation this week so he will not be able to fix this until Monday. The dossier specialist said that our dossier can not move onto translation until everything is complete. If anyone out there is reading this, please pray that everything comes together next week. I would love to be DTC by next Friday. I feel like I can move on with my life when everything is in China. Right now I just feel stuck. I know this is such a small blip in this process but I guess I was getting my hopes up too high. It doesn't help that I have been connecting with others in the adoption process and they have all moved forward to DTC. It is so interesting to learn how different each agency works and what they want. Some agencies are receiving dossiers and are DTC in just a couple of days. It makes me wonder why it is taking so long at CCAI. I have heard such good things about them and really it has been no problems so far but this waiting is just so hard and then to find out after weeks of waiting that something was wrong, I just wish this would have come up earlier last week. Ok, I am know getting negative which I do not want to be. Maybe I need prayers too. Stay positive. Stay positive. If there are others of you reading this with much worse things going on your lives, I apologize. I know this must seem very minimal. In my heart I know that this is happening for a reason, it's just hard.
