So today I finished filling out our next US Government paper, the I800 approval. It requests approval to adopt a specific child. This will be needed once we have our Letter of Approval (LOA) from China. I finished it and sent it to our placement agency so they will have it waiting and ready to go once that LOA comes. I also sent the agency an email letting them know it was on its way and asking if they had heard anything about our Log In Date (LID) yet. I was getting a little discouraged as a few other dossiers that were submitted after mine already had LID. After a long day I received a quick email telling me that we do have LID.
Log In Date (L.I.D.) 5/21/14!!!!!
We're not only LID but we have had LID for 6 days already!!! A big step forward.
Now we wait for our Letter of Approval which could come anytime from 45-100 days from our LID. UGH! Wish we could pinpoint our travel a little better. But, this means we could travel anywhere from late Sept-November. Please pray that we receive our LOA and everything goes quickly. We want our Little Miss home soon!

Waiting
Waiting. Something I have never been good at. Although going through 2 adoptions now has taught me to be a little bit more patient.....
Our dossier is now in China. I looked at my FedEx account and it was received and signed for. Big sigh of relief. DTC (dossier to China) was 5/9. They received it on 5/12, just a day before my birthday and the day after Mother's Day. I was so excited to know we were moving forward. Another adopting mom I have "met" on our Facebook groups was also DTC on 5/9. It is exciting to know that we might really meet in China while Mike and I pick up our daughter and she and her family pick up their son.
So, it has been almost 2 weeks and no word yet. The next step would be LID or Log In Date. That is when China has looked at our dossier and actually logged it into the system. This is a huge step because only then will they begin to work on our LOA or Letter of Approval. Most LOAs come anywhere from 45-60 days after LID. Well, we haven't heard yet if we are LID. A few other moms have received LID already even though they were DTC after I was. Not sure why. Made me a little sad to head into this long weekend without word. So, please pray that our LID comes this week and we can move that huge step closer. Our Little Miss is waiting on us. I feel stuck. I just want to go NOW!!!
