We have filled out a SN application, but our agency will allow us to stay in the NSN line unless a child is referred that matches our application. We would be fine with a child from either line! We are hoping for a little girl 12 mo - 24 mos. A part of me is hoping for closer to 2.

Congratulations!

We're still paperchasing. Actually, we're in the slllllllow line for an I-800A approval.

We're killing time by starting a concurrent adoption. If this adoption in China takes too long, I may end up with a VERY large family if I continue adopting to fill my time!

Your agency lets you do that? I didn't think that was allowed. I was under the impression that you could get kicked out of the program if someone found out you were doing 2 adoptions at the same time?

China is one of the countries that allows concurrent adoptions.

Ellipses Lid

Finally got our LID. It's a little later than expected. Dec. 19th. I'm still praying that things move quicker. A year ago, I thought we might actually have our little one by this time, or at least be close. Can you tell I'm not good at waiting?
