L.I.D.!!!!!!

WE ARE LOGGED IN!!!!

WOOOO HOOOO!!!!

OUR L.I.D. WAS NOVEMBER 25, 2008!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you are wondering,"What is up with all of these abbreviations?"

I honestly don't know! I guess the adoption world felt it would be easier.

For those who are not familiar with this term, it means our Dossier (crazy-thick history of our lives) has been translated into Chinese; has arrived at the CCAA (Chinese government agency that handles adoptions); and is "LOGGED IN" to their computer.

Now, you may be wondering what is next.

HMMMMM! ;)

Well, our Dossier goes through many reviews.

Once it has been reviewed thoroughly, they decide if we are an acceptable family for Sarah Hope.

We then will receive a LOA (Letter of Acceptance/Approval).

Then they will decide on our TA (Travel Approval).

And provide us with a CA (Consulate Appointment).

WHEW!

So...

now we WAIT (not an abbreviation)!!!

For all of you PRAYER WARRIORS out there, we would greatly appreciate your prayers for a speedy approval!
