We have our LID!


We found out from our adoption agency last week that we are officially "logged in" to the Chinese system. Our LID or Log-In-Date is Nov 28th, 2006. That is an exciting piece of news since that is when our official wait time is determined. Right now the wait time for the Regular or Non-Special Needs route is about 15 months from log in date but times, as we have found, change rapidly. That wait time can either get longer or shorter or stay the same. Based on the 15 months, out wait time would be approx 12 months from log in date if we in fact get a referral from China. Obviously we hope that maybe we can find out little girl off the waiting child list sooner than that but there are no guarantees. We are excited to be finally logged into the Chinese system and officially waiting though!
Please continue to think of us and pray for us that maybe the process could happen sooner rather than later and that we would continue to have patience through the process. I have included a few more recent pictures of the girls. Hope you enjoy! We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
