We are now waiting for the CCAA (Better known as Communist China) to get our "LID" (Log In Date) for our Dossier. All Dossier must be logged in with them first before going any further. Not sure exactly what that consists of, since no one has ever really explained it well to anyone. It's probably one of those government sayings to make us think it's a very important step. This they told me yesterday will take anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks. After that we will receive our "LOA" (Letter of Approval ) which is everything is in order between our paper work and all the paper work for Davis. Then HOPEFULLY, we will get to tell everyone we have "TA", (Travel Approval) which means that at that time, we have 4 to 6 weeks to get our plans together and go to China! So by Christmas we should know something.
We are trying to figure out Davis's room now. Don't want to wait to the last minute. The problem is finding toys without the lead in them. Most children Davis's age like to put everything in their mouths. So this is a new challenge. David and I didn't have to worry with this kind of stuff growing up, maybe because kids back in our day played outside more, we are sure lead was around back then. So many houses had lead paint. We just wish that all these issues with lead didn't have to be connected with China.
We hope that all of you are doing well. A big Hello! to my sister Candy and Brother in law Uwe. Hope all is well with the both of you.
Until our next report, blessings
Cindi and David
