Hello and congratulations on your very recent adoption! That is exciting news!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog while trying to find answers about adoption timelines. Our adoption agency informed us a couple of weeks ago that we have an LID and that our dossier is officially in translation. How long did it take for your dossier to go through translation? One last thing-do you know if it's common to not have your dossier reviewed and approved until after you have a referral? Thank you!
