God is Good...

We have a LID - log in date for our dossier in China. When you send your Dossier to China you are DTC. When China receives it and puts it in their tracking system, you have a LID - Log In Date. Not many people who adopt a waiting child get a LID. WE GOT ONE TODAY! And it's GREAT news. We were DTC on 9/2 and our LID is 9/19! I've seen some recently who were DTC the same day as us and LID was in mid-October. Heartbreaking. I can't even go there. I had made a prediction of TA on 11/7. Hmm.. I'm hoping I'm wrong and it's BEFORE then, but I won't be crushed if it isn't til after then. I will take my TA anyway I can get it - fried, scalloped, par-boiled, baked, broiled or toasted! I DON'T CARE how it gets here, just get here! :)

Just let me say Thank you God, because I have put this in your hands and all my prayers have been answered so far.

Shelli, I'm very happy for you on you quick LID. Our agency does not give them out. They just say we will get TA 2/4 months from DTC.

I have watching your blog. I hear you on the waiting. I think that it is going to drive me off the edge sometimes.

wishing you (and myself) a speedy TA.
