Won't get a log in date for awhile

Nothing really going on, just realized it's been 10 days since I put anything on the blog so here's an update.

I emailed our agency to to find out if they had heard anything about when our LID (log in date) might have been/will be and the response was that they don't expect to find out what it was for a few weeks to a couple more months.

It's not a big deal really as I have every reason to believe our dossier has been logged in in China or is about to be but it's mainly a curiosity factor as to what that date may be.

I had originally hoped the LID would be late February so our DTC and LID would both be in February but it doesn't matter. Come time for referral, the cut off for the batch of referrals in a given month could just as easily be the 20th of one month or the 10th of the next or any date for that matter. So there's little logic to hoping that having a Feb 28th LID will bring us a referral any sooner than a March 10th LID but the earlier the better with the way things are going these days.

The buzz of interest at the moment is that it appears all the June, July and August dossiers are out of the "review room" in China. This means the only thing left for those people is for their dossier to sit in a pile in the "matching room" and to wait to be matched with their baby. Just because those month's dossiers are in the matching room does not mean that the next batch of referrals will include all those dates but it's a good sign of potential speeding up at the China Center for Adoption Affairs.

Time will tell.
