It has taken me longer than usual to get my energy back post-school-year. I think the heat we’ve been dealing with (and some unusual humidity at times) has something to do with it. But I am getting my feet back under me and heading into the busy July weeks!
So, for a fun coincidence (and not the first!), the date of my last blog was May 14th. Unknown to us at the time, May 14th is our Logged In Date (the day China officially received our dossier)!!! So while I was updating everyone about our progress, even more progress was being made. From there, the dossier headed into the translation room.
Our dossier came out of the translation room a little over a week ago AND . . . China requested more paperwork regarding my medications. Thanks to some amazing help from friends, that information is ready to submit and will be heading out (electronically AND via snail mail) tomorrow. As far as we can tell, this is the last piece of the puzzle for LOA and online pictures! I am so excited about “introducing” you all to our little darling!
As far as fundraising goes, with the rising heat we completed the last of the traditional garage sales (#3). Items are still available for sale online. There are still some grant applications to complete this week, as we now know that we are looking at LOA sooner than later. Of course, any donations are still welcome. We are ~$12,000 away from fully-funded.
If you want to see a breakdown of the steps left in the process, you can check out my last blog post for a detailed list.
