So what exactly are waiting for now? Two things. One is a form called the I-171 from the USCIS which gives us the ok from the United States to become parents to a child from China. We have received this form 4 times already, paying to update every time. They must REALLY think we are good parents. We expect this form in the mail any day. We can't travel to China without it.
Most importantly we are waiting for our referral. Every month, China matches children with dossiers they have on file. If your number is up, kind of like the line at a bakery, your in! We have a Logged in Date (LID) of May, 24, 2005. We were expecting to be in the next referred group, but my agency said it is more likely next month. So frustrating. We really thought we were going to be seeing our daughters face for the first time, but as usual, we wait.
In the meanwhile we are busy decorating her room and walking aimlessly around Babies R Us. Not knowing how old she will be, it's hard to buy anything yet. But, it's fun to look!
