china is closed

Okay, so China is not actually closed, but a very important part of it is.  The Chinese Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption (CCCWA), which oversees the adoption process in China, is closed this week while they update their computers.

What this means for us is that while all of our paperwork has made it to China it is not being processed during the shut down.  It will not be logged into the system and we will not get a log in date (LID) until it reopens. Getting an LID is very important because we most likely will not be matched with a child without one.

Because of the timing of our paperwork it is likely that we would not have been logged in this week anyway.  Let's just hope that when they reopen they are speedy at processing paperwork and that there is not a backlog.

In the meantime, we are enjoying summer!
