Let the countdown begin!

We have a LID! Here's an excerpt of the e-mail that was waiting for me at home today. I knew there was a reason I could not make myself work late tonight (uh...yeah...right..that's it).

Congratulations again!
We have received confirmation that your dossier was logged into the CCAA on November 24, 2005. Right now the wait time between your log in date and referral is approximately 7-10 months.

So what that means is anytime between June 2006 and August 2006 we'll get a picture of our girl. It feels good to have a timeline finally in place.

Please say a prayer for us that referrals come quickly!!!

For the curious (like me), here's a picture from another adoption blog showing the inside of an orphanage in China. Can you imagine only having 2 or 3 workers at a time to care for this many babies? It's amazing how kids can bounce back from these tough beginnings.
