Today we received word from Great Wall that all of our paperwork has been finalized, certified, blessed, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as fire lighters.
It is now on its way to China and will arrive Monday, at which point someone will walk it over to the CCCA and we will receive our official login date. This is a big day - it's the moment at which our wait officially (as far as the Chinese are concerned) begins. We will not find out what day this is for around a month, as they get a crapload of these these things in on a regular basis, and it can take a while for them to get around to sending us official word, but that's OK. The big thing is that next week we're in the hands of the people that matter most.
There's more stuff to come as we transition from the paperwork phase to prepping for our trip phase, and we'll get into all of that as it becomes appropriate. For now we're basking in the relief that the only thing standing between us and the baby(ies) we've so desperately wanted for so very long is time.

Good news indeed! Cheers for you from Sandy Springs!
Outstanding! There seem to be an endless stream of small hurdles that produce a similar stream of small victories. Culminating in a major victory and then, I promise, another endless stream of small hurdles that produce a similar stream of small but important victories.
What fun!!!!
That is great!
So, what are you going to do to the room?
I bet the answer to meeegan's question is, "Put the kid(s) in it!" :-)
