6~13~06 LID/SEPTEMBER UPDATE

We are super excited as the website moved 9 whole days in the month of September. Woohoo! It must mean the Olympics are over and the China Adoption Affairs Office in Beijing is back working (just speculating) and moving a little more with their referrals. They have referred healthy babies through LID February 9, 2006, and we are LID June 13, 2006. LID means Log In Date with the China Adoption Affairs office. When you officially get all paperwork in and are in their adoption system you get your LID. We started our process January 1, 2006, and the paperwork and wait and official documentation approval took until June 13, 2006, to be completed in China. The nine day move this month keeps us on track moving one week a month plus 2 more bonus days this month. As of today, I am thinking we are still on track for referral March 2010 with our Gotcha Day still in May 2010. My hope would be to have it speed up just enough to get her the end of 2009. That means let's get the months rolling by a couple weeks at a time for referrals. I know all things are possible so let's bring it on China!!!!!! This wait continues to be difficult but God has a bigger plan and I can't wait for Jailyn to join our family and I believe she will be born in the next 12 months.

Hope you like our newly designed Blogspot for our Journey for Jailyn. We used a group of blog designers from Blogovers with Love who design sites for a fee if you donate to their cause which are special needs children in China. My designer was awesome, Judi with DoodleBug Designs. Her link is on my blog. I wanted it girly and very pink and full of lots of hearts and love. As Jailyn has been born in our hearts from the day we started our journey......and of course it had to be pink and cutesy-wootsy!

Hope you like our blog and stop by to see the latest update every month.

Much love and hugs!
