3 years

next month will be our 3 year LID anniversary. Yikes, can't believe that. There has been some talk about speeding up the process, that China has sent letters to all the orphanages to ask for more waiting children. Also, i have read that it is now becoming one of the orphanage director's job requirements, to get a good job review, they must have more children get paper ready.

Currently they have placed children up to LID March 8, 2006. i believe it has slowed down to about 1-2 days worth of LIDs each month. The average before that was 5-7 days. And when we started 3 years ago they were doing about 20-30 days worth of LIDs each month.

So, with no speed up we are looking at about 14-20 months wait. Geeesh, i think i have been saying that for 3 years now. We do hope for a speed up. It is possible now with the Olympics over and the spot light off of China. We have heard there would be speed ups before...many have not happened. There is a lot of attrition to the SN program that is moving at high speed. There is always HOPE!
