Great Wall China Adoption

The adoption agency we picked is called Great Wall China Adoption. They are located in Austin, Texas. We did so much research on agencies and Great Wall was just the perfect fit for us. They return my calls and emails right away and always can answer my nervious questions! Here is their website: www.gwcadopt.org.

The Wait Continues.....

Well, it has been 25 days since we were fingerprinted at the CIS...still waiting for the 171H. I really hope it comes soon. We want to be DTC (dossier to China) by the end of the year! Our agency, Great Wall, has sent our New Jersey papers to Trenton for Certification. We decided that once we get the 171H we are going to pay a little extra to get expedited certification. Anything that will help get our paperwork to China faster!

Still Waiting

It is now December. It is a rainy, miserable day here in New Jersey and we are still waiting for our 171H. I read something on line the other day that said someone got fingerprinted on October 19 in Philadelphia and is still waiting for their 171H from Newark!!!! I hope this doesn't happen to us. We are so anxious for our paperwork to get to China! I spoke with Great Wall yesterday and our dossier person is going to send all of our documents (with the exception of the 171H) off to Trenton for certification and then to New York for authentication. Once we get the 171H, we are going to get expedited service. We are still hopeful to be DTC by the end of December!
