Good luck CS!
Did it really take 11 months to get your dossier together?
Thanks, everyone!
The 11 months is from the date we first decided to start the process. We researched for about a month, before we applied to our agency. So it includes that time, and the time we spent on our homestudy (that's where we lost a lot of time...grrr!), getting our Immigration approval, and completing our dossier.
How fitting, given my penchant for criminal justice!
Congrats!!!!!!!!!! I hope you get your referal soon!!
awesome! congrats!

I can't lie though... i don't know exactly what it is. ?
What the dossier is? It's your homestudy plus a whole lot of other papers and photos etc - basically your profile - for officials at an international orphanage look at in order to approve you and match you with a child. Ours was about 50 pages long
?
ahhhh... gotcha! Thanks! So someone acts as your "rep" overseas?
?

Ranita, just 50 pages? Our homestudy and pysch alone were just about 50 pages!
LadyRed, yes, our agency contracts with a lawyer in Peru who helps track our paperwork through the system.
