LID!!

No, its not that....

it is Logged In Date.

And ours is November 13, 2012.

This means that our file has been officially received by China and is now the arduous process of translating and approving our dossier begins.  Our dossier has 10+ documents--with at least one of them (our home study) being quite lengthy.  We have invested a lot of time, effort, and finances in these documents, so it is a relief to know that they are finally being reviewed by China :)

So...the next thing that happens is...more waiting.  In about 3 months, we will receive our Letter of Acceptance and then things will really start moving.  So, we are enjoying the calm before the storm.

And we are celebrating that we are one step closer to our daughter.
