Our Wait Begins

our baby ladybug our wait begins
our baby ladybug April 27, 2008Our names are Tracey and AJ Vanderpool. We have been married for almost 10 years. We are the proud parents of two wonderful sons. Jackson almost 7 and Colby almost 4. We have decided to expand our family and are in the process of adopting a baby girl from China. This is our adoption story as it unfolds. This process began about 10 months ago with gathering mounds of paperwork. When we started the paperwork the entire process was suppose to take about 2 years. It takes about 6 months to gather your dossier (all of the paperwork) and once your dossier is submitted to China you recieve what is called at log in date (LID). When we started the wait time between recieving your dossier was about 15 months. Buy the time we completed our dossier the wait was up to 22 months. So we still had about a 2 year wait. Once we recieved our LID (January 15, 2008) the wait had increased to 24 months. So we still had 2 years to wait. We just attended an adoption conference in Chicago and we were told the wait is up to 28 monts. We have officially been waiting 4 months so we still have 2 years to wait. I am hoping some day we will have less than 2 years to wait.
