Another half-step forward!

"The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office before December 31, 2005." --- Direct from the Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs website, September 19, 2006.

Well, we knew we were already in review, but we now know for certain that January is in the review process. Our documents were registered (Logged In) on January 12, 2006. We have been in the Review Room for about 2 months now, but with December out of the way, it feels like progress. In the next few weeks one of two things will happen, either we'll hear nothing at all until the announcement that January is out of Review, or else we will get a call from Great Wall informing us that China either wants more information, or clarification on something in our documents.

Of course, there is a third possibility; our application could be rejected.

Thats not something we care to think about. It does happen on occasion, usually for health complications of the applicants. Our documents were all carefully reviewed by our agency in Texas, and again by their office in Beijing before being submitted to the CCAA. We passed both of their internal reviews and they anticipate no problems.

But, it's good news and we're happy to have taken a half step forward in the process.
