We Are LID!

I am writing with some very good news. An email from our agency confirmed that we are officially Logged In with China. Our log in date (LID) is 10/27/06. This LID is very important and you will hear me refer to it many times. As China matches families with babies they do this systematically according to your log in date (LID). So far they have matched families with babies that have a log in date before August 9, 2005. If the wait stays the same we will have 14 months between now and our match with our baby. However, in the internationl adoption world, nothing is stable and this wait can increase even more or actually decrease (which is what we are praying for). So we will patiently watch the adoption boards to see where China is in their placement of families. In the Bible Isaiah reminds us "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 Our hope will be in the LORD and we will be pressing on each day as we anticipate the arrival of our precious forever daughter.
