Danny and Emily, They are both so adorable together and I am so happy that Lia Kate has become such a very happy child who has a fantastic life. She is so blessed to have all of you as her family. Britton makes such a great big brother and is so loving with her. Thanks for sharing the great videos. Alissa
Love the videos as always. Not surprised that her first English words include "doggie", given that Britton uses this word A LOT! So glad she's already saying mama :)
May - June 2007 Choose an agency -- Lifeline Children's Services -- and start paperchasing.
November 2007 Approval to adopt from USCIS.
December 29, 2007 We are DTC (Dossier to China)!
January 15, 2008 We are LID (Log In Date)! Logged in to the CCAA (Chinese Consulate on Adoption Affairs) system. Meanwhile, our son, Britton, was born and living in the NICU.
January 2008 - August 2009 WAITING. Adoptions are moving very S-L-O-W-L-Y.
August 2009 We decide to pursue a special needs child and begin reviewing files here and there.
October 21, 2009 We get Lia Kate's file and know she is ours! Send off our LOI (Letter of Intent) to adopt her.
October 27, 2009 We get Pre-Approval (PA) from the Chinese government to adopt Lia Kate!
November 16, 2009 Our Letter of Approval (LOA) came saying we are approved to adopt Lia Kate! We waited only 3 1/2 weeks to get it ... crazy fast. Hoping to leave for China in December.

I love the videos of Lia Kate and Britton. Wish Dorothy could see them. Perhaps she can. I look forward to seeing all of you some day. I love you.
