LID - We're Expecting!!!

We are happy to announce that we are officially "paper pregnant"!
Dear Jacek & Mary,

Great News! Your dossier has been
logged in by the China Center of Adoption Affairs.

Your official dossier log-in date (LID) is: 4/20/2006.

Our Log In Date or LID is our official date with the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) - this date starts our countdown to child match or referral. Currently the wait between LID and referral is right at 11 months. The wait could get shorter, but most are expecting it to get longer. Our agency is estimating a 10-14 month wait - some agencies in Canada and Europe are telling clients the wait could extend to 18 months. It'll be a long 'pregnancy' that's for sure!
