Dossier is complete!

Woohoo! I introduced myself a while back, but haven't posted anything as we've been busy, busy, busy trying to get everything in order. But we completed the last of our dossier paperwork today and mailed it to our agency. Our agency director seems to think that we'll have our referral by late January, early February. I've been through this before (adopted from Guatemala in 2007), but I've got butterflies all over again! I'm so anxious to get our son home. I hope things go smoothly from here. (Our Guatemala adoption was a very rough process.) Anyhow, I look forward to posting more on this board as I come up with questions about travel, etc! Thanks!

Dawn
