We are LID!

Hey friends, it's been a while since I've posted here, but I'm getting back into this swing of things with our adoption process picking up pace.  We've been back in process for the last 2 years.  We're at a place now where we're hopeful things will start moving along a bit faster. We're through the home study process, have our 800a approval, and were DTC at the beginning of July!  As of July 11th we were notified we are officially LID!!! Hooray! That means we have our China login date! This is good news because it opens us up to more precious, waiting children available for adoption. It's also another required step in the process, and another box we check off, as we move along. From here we await LOA (Letter of Acceptance) from China, and this typically takes a bit longer. I just checked in on the wait for LOA and it appears it's taking anywhere between 40 and 55 days. During this time we'll be working on our book reports that are required prior to travel. We'll read 6 books over the next couple of months pertaining to adoption, and it will serve as good reminders for us as we move closer to our little one!
