July Referrals Arrived

今天又看到了很多家庭等到了小孩的referrals, 看到网上发布的照片及这些家兴奋的心情,我也跟着高兴。正常家庭等待了30个月,有中国血统的家庭等了19个月。我们的领养文件刚刚送到美国移民局,大概要等3个月才能批准,然后还要由我们的领养中介公证所有文件,再送往中国领养中心(CCAA),CCAA收到材料后,通过领养中介告诉我们登记日期, 又称Log In Date (LID)。有了LID,漫长的等待就正式开始了。等待虽然漫长,但是我心中充满希望。
Today, I saw that a lot of families got their referrals. I looked at all the pictures listed on the RQ site. All the babies are so cute and precious. I am very excited for all of them. Normal families waited for 30 months and the expedited families waited for 19 months. Our adoption documents (I-800A) were just submitted to USCIS and it may take about 3 months to get approval. Then our adoption agency will send our dossier to CCAA followed by a Log In Date (LID). Once we get our LID, our long journey will officially begin. Despite the long wait, my heart is full of hope and joy.
