LID

Last night I was driving to meet my friend at the movies and I noticed a message on my cell. It was Pam letting us know we received our log in date (LID). It is November 19th, which also happens to be my mother-in-law's birthday. I hope its not much longer now.

Today is our 2 Month Anniversary!

As of today it has been 2 months since we have been officially logged in with the CCAA. 2 months down, how many more to go? Latest guestimates are 24 months from LID to refferal but there are rumors of a speed up :) I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can bring our sweet child home sooner than later. We love her already!

LID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is with sheer joy mixed with relief that we can report we FINALLY have our LID (log-in-date) with the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs)! Our SW (social worker) left us a messageyesterday (2/21/2007 on Evan's official 5 1/2 birthday)! We started the paperwork at the end of June. We submitted our dossier (paperwork) to our agency just before Halloween. We were officially DTC (dossier to China) on Dec 15. It was received by the CCAA on Jan 2. And most importantly we were LID on 1/16! This means we are officially in the queue for our adoption!

Even though it seemed to take such a long time just to get here, the good news is that we are already 1 month and 6 days into the wait. Only around 22 more months to go before we are matched with our child...but who's counting?! ;)

I guess we are really on the slow boat to China!

Waiting on our LID

It's Feb 12, 2007. We were DTC on Dec 15, 2006 and have yet to have confirmation on our LID (log in date). The reality is we probably already have a LID, we just have not been told what that date is. Keeping my fingers crossed that we get it this Wednesday for Valentine's day or this Friday for Dave's (drumroll please) 44th birthday!
