I decided to post this just this once as a reference to all future posts. I am still learning all the adoption acronyms that people throw around. When we go to dinner with other FCC (can't go too long without an acronym-Families with Chinese Children), people around us probably think we are speaking in code, like we are Russian spies or alien invaders.
So, here is the abbreviated list for your reviewing:
FCC (families with chinese children)
CCAA (chinese center for adoption affairs-the branch of the chinese gov't that handles all of our paperwork)
HS (homestudy)
DH/DD (dear husband, dear daughter....these are dumb, I never use them)
I600 (application to adopt abroad)
171H (approval from the USCIS to adopt abroad)
USCIS (Formerly known as the INS)
CCAI (our wonderful agency-Chinese Children Adoption International)
DTC (Dossier to China)
LID (Log in Date-this occurs a few weeks after your DTC)
TA (travel approval)
I have a couple other acronyms that I could use for this whole process, which most days stinks like dog poo, but I'll keep them to myself. I know my church friends are reading.....
