Steps to TA

Thanks to chartkeeperqueen for keeping this updated every week. Being able to see how long the next step takes and see other online adoptive friends making their way to the top to get "pinked" really helps to feel like we're accomplishing something besides just waiting. The bad news is this chart comes in three sections (A, B and C). Right now we are on the "C" chart at the bottom. Our online name is growingfamily and we are 2nd from the bottom. The chart lists our two babies waiting for us and next weeks update will have their provinces listed too. One day, not to long from now, we will be "pinked" to go to China too. If you want to see this chart larger there should be a view tab on the top line of your computer that will zoom in

. 

This is our last chart as we paperwork our way to China. 

We expect it to take 3-4 weeks for us to be DTC. As you can see after DTC it's only taking about 10 days to LID from China. Then we get to skip the LOI and PA steps since we have already sent and received those. So in about 5-6 weeks (middle of May) we will hopefully be on chart B waiting for our 2 LOA's. Remember there is an abbreviation list on the left side of the blog if you need it.
