Congrats to both of you! I am so excited! Maybe we will all end up with the same LID and will actually get to meet in China. What a great thing that would be!

Talking Awesome!
That would be awesome if we did. And I'm praying every day that the CCAA speeds up the processing of dossiers.
Are either of you (Jess, Ashley) in the SN program or both NSN? We're in the SN, and are hoping that we can travel in Mar, but it might not be until June.

We are in the SN program. It looks like you have a referral already??? We are waiting for a referral of a boy through the shared list. We are "hoping" for a referral in the next 2 months and travel this summer or before...but that all depends on many factors. Stay in touch and prayers for a quick LID for us all!!!!!!

Talking Yes!
Yeah, we've already accepted a referral for a little boy whom we've named Ewen (just say the letters U & N; for some reason, no one seems to know how to pronounce it.) He'll be 2 on Dec 29th. I think I'll go crazy here staring at his picture before we get our TA.
I hope you get your referral soon. What age are you looking at? We had originally asked for 0-12 mos, but our caseworker couldn't find any less than 12 mos on the CCAA web site. She showed us Ewen, and we fell in love! I'm almost ashamed to say, but we saw 2 other referrals. But we knew they were not our little boy (even though, one of them was younger.) You should have no problem finding a little boy, as it seems everyone wants girls.

We put down 12months to 4yrs. I am hoping to have a referral by the end of January, but it is in Gods hands...
Good luck! You are now DTC and hopefully LOA and TA are right behind for you!
