My agency made a huge mistake when they sent me my LID (which they now tell me is 2/10/06.) I’ve cried my eyes out and now I just have to accept that after hanging on to this one date of 1/25/06 for two and a half years, I have to wait a little bit longer.

Our lid is 10-11-06 so i believe we have alot of time to pursue another adoption if we wanted to right now. Check with your agency because as far as i know my agency said that they didn't have any rules but that is what China is requesting 1year before referral and 1 year after bringing baby home for any new adoptions. hope this was of some help.... dear wait4ever, we were told by our agency that as long as we adopt 1yr before our china referral comes we will be fine, the only catch is that we don’t really know when to expect a referral from China.

Our agency's site is updated - referrals received for Jan 23 & 24 (they didn't have anyone with 25th LID). AND Dec 06 expedited referrals are also received! Do you know the process? Do they translate the file and we get the call tomorrow? When do we get the Fed Ex package? Tomorrow or Wednesday? Can't believe the referral is actually here... Amy Hi Colette,

It’s official! Our agency’s site is updated – referrals received for Jan 23 & 24 (they didn’t have anyone with 25th LID). AND Dec 06 expedited referrals are also received!

Do you know the process? Do they translate the file and we get the call tomorrow? When do we get the Fed Ex package? Tomorrow or Wednesday?

Can’t believe the referral is actually here…
