We have a log in date! The log in date (LID) is the date that your paperwork is logged in at the CCAA in Beijing (China Center of Adoption Affairs). From this I am going to surmise that we also have a dossier to China (DTC) date, although this was never officially announced by our agency.
For those of you who don't know much about the process, this is great news. It means barring anything unusual our paperchase is DONE! And with the referral times so much more reasonable these days, we are close, close, close to getting our girl.

Posted by: dana at January 12, 2005 10:43 AMCongratulations! May will be here before you know it, and you'll be on your way. We are awaiting our 171-H, and must live vicariously through those ahead of us, so please keep us posted! :-)

Posted by: Jenn at January 13, 2005 11:06 AMCongratulations! I just found your blog through Amber's Kinja site. We found out last week that our LID was December 9. (I mean no rush to let us know or anything...!) I just read your bio and it makes me laugh because I just wrote about some of those very issues today.
Anyway, here's to speedy referrals!!
