Thumbs up We have LID!!
After painfully reading all of the wonderful news of everyone's LID dates last week, I am happy to announce that we are LID as of February 27th!!!! Please do not get me wrong, I was happy for everyone who received their notice. But I wasn't understanding why it was taking us so long to find out. It was almost getting to the point of frustration because our DTC date was in January and people in March were getting their LID's and we hadn't heard anything. But, that wate is over and we are officially logged in now! I guess the Lord was really testing my patience. What are the next 10 - 12 months going to bring? Lots more prayers for patience I guess!! But at least we have over a month under our belt now. YEAH for LID!!!!

Who else was LID around the end of February?
Happy in WI!
Gretchen

Congratulations!! Don't feel bad about having those twinges of envy. I do believe they are normal especially in this long and trying process. Just remember, our darling daughters are coming!! Kim

Thanks!
I appreciate all of your kindness and comments! I am kind of torn right now with everyone going over to the other forum. I don't know who is still here - I was feeling like everyone was jumping ship. I have been going back and forth, so it is good to have some familiar names still around!
Good luck to everyone else on your waiting process!!!

Gretchen
