For families who switched agencies

I got an email from my adoption agency in regards families who switched agencies.

:Dear families,

We found out the CCAA internal process for the switched families. This is what they do when they have families make a switch.
v Administrative office receives the switching letter from both agencies
v Administrative office checks both letter and money to see if they are in the place
v Administrative office finds the dossier from either Dept I or Dept II
v Administrative office director reviews the dossier and give permission to switch or not
v Administrative office pulls out your dossier from your old agency and put into the new agency
v Administrative office Issues you a new LID and LID #
v Administrative office then passes your dossier to the Dept I, then Dept II
v If your dossier is already reviewed, Dept I will pass it to the Dept II. If not, Dept I reviews your dossier, then pass it to the Dept II
v Dept II issues LOA and director signs the LOA
v Dept II sends out your LOA to the new agency

It looks like an easy process to me, but the CCAA says this process takes time. I think it will take 1 or 2 months to get the LOA after the new LID. This is just my guess, because none of our switched families have received the LOA yet. The CCAA also mentioned that this process takes most of time in the Administrative office. If you already have your new LID and your dossier was logged in before 12/31/2007, the process should be fairly fast now.


We did get a new LID as 10/20/09, so setting my new goal to on or around 12/20/09 to received LOA. If it's not once thing, it's another and so but the timing keeps getting higher and higher and I just hope we get to Nathan before his 4rd B-day, in early April.

Wait for us Nathan, your sister says Hi everyday and can't wait to share her toys with you.

In the meantime, we hang in there, keep praying and keep hoping.....till new news develop.
