LOG IN DATE!

We received an email from our adoption agency today.

Hello Debbie and Bill,

Your Log-In Date (LID) has arrived; it is 02-10-2012!  Please see the attached Ladybug Letter; it is your documentation of your LID Date. Please feel free to include it in your child’s Baby Book or Memory Book. 

Woo Hoo!  So excited that we have a LID. But was really hoping it would have been earlier.  I don't understand how their system works. Our friends, who's dossier went to China in the same package, got a LID of 1/31.  Why did it take 11 days to log us in?  

One day I know I will see why the LID is later.  Because I know God has a plan and His timing is perfect.  

So now we wait for the next phase.  Our LOA (or LSC).  This means Letter of Acceptance or Letter Seeking Confirmation.  This is the official referral of the girls to us.  This is China saying YES.  The average wait is anywhere from 66 days to 80.  With some getting it sooner and some getting it much later. Please pray that we will get it quick.  The longer we wait, the longer before we can travel.  

I know God's timing is perfect. I know we will travel at the perfect time.  It's just hard not knowing when that will be.  :-)

So for now, we rejoice that we have a LID.  We rejoice because that means our dossier is good, in the right hands, and getting ready to start the next phase.
