Finally Received our LID

After, what seems like months, we received our LID (Log In Date) and it is later than we expected. Our date is February 21, 2005. Because of the Chinese New Year on February 9th, no dossier's were logged in for two weeks! So this officially starts our countdown to referral when we will receive our baby's picture! So if the referrals continue at a six month pace, we should be getting her picture around August 21! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

The Brown Envelope Finally Arrived

We finally received our Brown Envelope from the US Consulate in Guangzhou. The envelope contains the paperwork we will need to submit when we are in Guangzhou to complete the US end of the adoption. It also contains the medical papers that the doctors there will fill out when the baby has her medical exam.

Every milestone brings us closer to Elizabeth.

Still Waiting for the LID, Chapter 2

Everyone who was DTC (dossier to china) in late January and February are still waiting for their LIDs. LID means log in date..the date your paperwork gets registered in China. Our DTC date was January 28. Our log in date should be sometime the first week in February. The Chinese New Year was February 9th so that is probably the reason we haven't received our date yet. Let's hope it comes this week!

Still Waiting for Our LID

Well, we are still waiting for our LID (Log-In-Date). The LID is the date that our paper work is officially logged into the Chinese government. Our paper work went over to China on 1/28 so I am pretty confident that our LID will be sometime the first week of February. The Chinese government usually sends this information to the agencies 6-8 weeks after the paper work is received in China! I will keep you posted!
