Well, with mixed emotions it is our 13th month LID ( ie waiting). 13 is good because we are still moving forward. Yep, time has NOT stood still for this ghastly wait.
When we started our paperwork in March 2006, the wait was projected to be about a year to 15 months. So I guess technically we are still in that time frame. Unrealistic to think it could happen so in Dec. I can probably lay it out then.
So another step forward, moving up in file-ville. Happy LID to my fellow line mates.

Referrals for September
I don't pretend to understand the universe - it's much bigger than I am
Albert Einstein
They have confirmation of referrals through Nov. 30th 2005. The cutoff is not set but doesn't look good according to the rumors. We don't know if Dec.1st - 5th is in or not.
People with Chinese heritage have been expedited through Aug 2006. That is very good news that children are being placed.
Congrats to all of you that see the light at the end of this long tunnel now. This last month was an emotionally rough one.

It's been 12!
It has been 12 months that our paperwork has been logged in China. I tried not to think (obsess) about it too much.
My feelings were of mixed emotions. Glad to get through a big milestone but then WHY does it have to be this long?
To be the eternal optimist (which is always challenged) I went to the closet with gifts from friends & family for our China girl. It is packed! see below!
She is blessed and probably not even born yet - this chick has more "stuff" than most children--- her brothers were not so well gifted this early:) Yeah, that's the way it should be for our Asian princess anyway.
I have put together a little rhyme for this occasion.SUNG to 12 days of Christmas.
On the 1st month of LID china girl rec'd...
