I had a phone call from our agency this afternoon. The CCAA has informed them that they cannot find our LOI or other supporting documents that were sent to them in July. Our agency has a copy of the receipt from DHL that shows the package was delivered to the CCAA and that one of their employees signed for it on July 17, 2007. That small bit of proof may be our only saving grace! Our agency is hoping that because the items were lost in their building, that the CCAA may be willing to accept a photocopy (scanned and sent via e-mail) of the authenticated documents. If they will not, we will need to re-do several items, have them sent to Topeka and San Francisco for authentication, and then, submit them again to the Chinese government.
Please say some extra prayers that they either find our documents or that they are willing to accept photostatic copies so that we don't have to start this particular journey leg all over again.... It makes me so sad and frustrated to know that our little girl is no closer to being home with us because of such a silly misplacement. I pray that the lost is found - or that they'll at least be flexible enough to take a photocopy since the original WAS in their hands on the 17th of July. Thank you!!

How awful! My stomach dropped as I read your entry.
You'll be in our prayers. I hope the CCAA is quick to rectify the problem once they see that the paperwork DOES exist (and they have it!).
