We are LID!!

More great news! Our DHL envelope with all of our documents arrived in Beijing on June 2 at 3:32 pm. I got a call from our agency this morning saying that we are LID!

LID means "logged in documents" and it sometimes takes two weeks (or more) to get LID. Our agency tells us we have set a new record for LID! So our LID date is June 3, and we hope to have more good news in 2-4 months!
Our prayers have been answered and we are so thankful for our many blessings! We were very discouraged when we had a paperwork delay, but now everything seems to be moving along again!

What's next? We are now waiting for LOA (letter of approval) which is the last big hurdle. LOA means that the Chinese government has officially approved us to be Sarah's family! Then we will get a TA (travel appointment) and go get Sarah! Come on, LOA!
