We received our log in date (LID) yesterday!  So now it's time to start our latest timeline on the sidebar of this blog! :)  Things have changed quite a bit with China's system since our last adoption, so now our caseworker will be able to track our dossier as it goes through the process at CCCWA.  We are very excited to see some progress and hope you'll all pray with us for expediency in the process and for HJ & Little Miss's health & well being while we wait!

Thanks for following along!
