LID!!!!!!!!!! We are "paper pregnant"!



So... I received the news today that our dossier was logged into the Chinese "system". Which means the CCCWA (China Center for Children’s Welfare and Adoption) -  the official government system through which adoptions are managed - has received our adoption paperwork. YAY!!

This is a HUGE deal!!! Why? Well.... potential adoptive parents are only eligible to be matched with  children with certain "characteristics"- including girls under 2 years old with minor to moderate special needs, which exactly describes the little girl we're hoping to adopt - after they get logged in. And, now we ARE! :)

Theoretically, we could get "the call" from our adoption agency anytime after today with news that there's a child that's a potential match for us.

HOWEVER.... we actually anticipate a long wait until we are matched with our precious girl ....months...  maybe 9 more months. Sound familiar? ;)

Therefore, we are rejoicing that we have hit this major milestone, but are tempered with the knowledge that we will still need a LOT of patience in the months to come.

Why? What now? Well, we wait...we don't know how long....
