Our Dossier is in China!

Our Dossier (all of our paperwork) on May 13, 2011.  Our agency told us that China has been taking 4-6 weeks to let them know what our Log-In Date (LID) is.  That LID is important because once our agency knows that, they will start looking for a child for us.  Well, our agency found out our LID 5 days later.  Yes, that's 5 days later .... not 4-6 weeks!!!!!!!  Our LID is 5/18/2011.

So we could be matched at any time!  It's very exciting and nervewracking at the same time!  The way it works is that our agency calls us, then we have about 48 hours to make a decision whether to accept the referral or not.  During that 48 hours, we have to consult a doctor to have her evaluate the medical information.  We also do a lot of praying and research about the special need in order to make a decision.  So that's a lot to do within 48 hours.  If we decide to accept the referral, we submit a Letter of Intent to adopt the child and then China gives us (hopefully) a PreApproval a few days later.

We will definitely keep you all posted!
