Yesterday, we received a packet in the mail from our adoption agencey Children's Hope International. One piece of paper was of particular interest: we got word that on February 18 our dossier was officially logged in at the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA). Normally, families can expect to wait up to four years after they receive a log-in-date (L.I.D.) to get their Chinese child. In our case, since our daughter is on the "Waiting Children" list (for special needs or older children) we can expect to travel to China within a few months.
Although we are still at the mercy of the CCAA, at least we are one official step closer to being united with our little girl. As Tom Petty so eloquently put it, "The waiting is the hardest part..." We're coming Mei-Mei, hang in there!

Oh, I hope you keep her name! Mei is so beautiful! Congrats my friend! Now you will have a little girl to handle! haha!
Actually, mei-mei is the Chinese word for little sister. Her name is Tian-Tian right now, and we're still debating on what to call her.
