It's a LID miracle!

I never imagined that our LID (log in date) would come four days after our dossier was sent to China. Of all places we had just arrived at the Magic Kingdom and Isaac and I had just finished getting our picture taken with Tigger and Pooh when I got a text message from Craig saying that he had heard from the agency regarding our LID. WHAT!? That is simply AMAZING!!!! We are so thrilled that we received a log in date in such a short amount of time. In 2006 when we began our journey to adopt Isaac our dossier left for China on August 4, 2006 and it wasn't logged in until August 30th. That was a wait of 26 days until log in. I can't believe it is even possible for the time between the two to be a mere 4 days. It is possible that we could have a match close to the two year anniversary for when we found Isaac. How cool?After we got home from the Magic Kingdom I thought it would be a good idea to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant to celebrate our LID. They are always asking when we'll go back to adopt another child and tonight we were able to tell them that our paperwork has been logged into China's system so we are one step closer. My cookie read, "An unexpected event will bring you riches." I was like, "Yes! Riches in love and family!!!" Isaac's cookie read, "An acquaintance of the past will affect you in the near future." Maybe our new addition will be from the Dongguan CWI just like Isaac. Wouldn't it be totally awesome if we adopted one of the cuties that melted my heart when we visited his orphanage on October 17, 2008? I knew at that minute (maybe before) that I would be back in China to adopt another child.




Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart." We are trusting the LORD to lead us to the child that He has chosen to be a part of our family. Please pray that our agency will have the wisdom of the LORD as they look for our child. We know that God lead Erin from Harrah's AIM when she found Isaac on the shared list in July of 2008. We are trusting Him to lead those from our new adoption agency as they search for our new child.
