I Just Can’t Stand It!!!
Right now our dossier(huge pile of paperwork) is in Chicago at the Chinese Embassy. The Chinese Consulate is doing a process called authentication. This is the last step. Our dossier will return to us, then we give it to the agency for one final check. From there it is off to China to receive our LID(log in date). That is when China has put us in their system and the wait has officially begun. For now, they do not know we exist. The wait is at 2 years and growing. I don’t know how long it will be for us to get to our daughter. I just can’t stand it! Thinking if she is born yet. Or is her mother pregnant with her? Does this mother know what she will do? My heart aches for the mother of my child. We will be so blessed by her child that she will have to let go. Lord, I pray that you watch over them both. Thank You.
On a different note, I am very excited for my friend Jill. Her LID is 6-13-2007. It is such a blessing to have a friend that is adopting from China too! Jill and her husband were inspired to adopt after I told them it was a dream of mine. They actually got ahead of us. I know it is all in God’s time to get us to our daughters. I am so amazed to think of the short time that Jill was my neighbor and by me sharing my dream it would inspire them to adopt as well. I share my dream with everyone and no one else has jumped on board! I know God made Jill my neighbor for a reason. I think Jill and I are connected by a red thread. We will be connected forever.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:11-13
