Waiting for LID

LID is a Logged In Date.  This is the date when China says they have officially received your paperwork.  Lifeline let us know we were DTC - Dossier (paperwork) To China on 6/10. 

Some adoptive families (with different agencies) were getting their LIDs within 4-6 days of being DTC.  So we waited...

Then we got to Day 14 (the top of the average wait for families with our agency), still nothing...

I emailed every other day to check on progress... nothing...

Day 18, our caseworker checked, China had received our paperwork, but it wasn't officially accepted.

THEN TODAY HAPPENED...

We are doing the happy dance and dreaming of LOA (the next BIG step)!!
