We have Pre Approval!!

We received PreApproval from China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA)!!! We can begin assembling our dossier. First is to get our homestudy completed. There are 13 other documents that we will gather. Then each will be notarized, the notary will be Authenticated in their state of origin and finally each state’s Secretary of State’s signature will be Authenticated by the Chinese Embassy in D.C. Oh, and each stop wants $$

How to Expedite

Cora received her US Certificate of Citizenship during a special day at the OKC-USCIS offices. While there, we were able to talk with our Adoption Officer about how to expedite our I600a approval. Oklahoma requires letters from physicians explaining why it necessary that the child receive specific medical procedures asap. Dr. Hildebrand of Dean McGee Eye Institute is willing to do this to help Ting.
