Our LID - Log in Date - in China is 10/26/12

Praise God!!!  We have a LID (Log in Date)...it is October 26, 2012.  This is the date that China approved and logged in our paperwork. 

So what does this mean?  It means that we are now able to receive a referral. 

What is a referral?  A referral is when our agency sends us a picture and file of a little girl that  matches our requests/guidelines from our application (minor/moderate special needs)...ages, etc. 

Starting in November we are elgible to receive a referral from the shared list.  A shared list is the new released children elgible for adoption that have special needs.  Our agency will match us with a child and send us an email.  This process could take one month to several months. It depends on how many other families are in front of us that are requesting the same guidelines. 

After we are matched, we will travel to China to get her within 3 - 6 months.

Please pray that we are matched with the exact little girl God wants us to have for our family.  Please pray for Melanie and her safety, shelter, food and needs to be met while we wait for our chance to go get her. 

Please also pray for the remaining $11,000 to come in for expences.  We are selling adoption cookbooks for $10 and will have one more fundraiser before the end of the year.  The other fundraiser will be Nov. 13th.  It is an open house for Oragami Owl and Scentsy.  If you would like to place an order please email me at karlamtaylor@hotmail.com.

If you are looking for a way to help your 2012 taxes, you can make a tax deductible donation to our fundraising fund with Lifesong for Orphans.  It is a way to help your taxes and bring Melanie home.  If you are interested please see details below or  email me at karlamtaylor@hotmail.com.
