Pity Party

I just heard from our coordinator that we still haven't been assigned an LID (our documents logged into the system). We were DTC (the date we sent all of our documents to China) on 4/29 and it usually takes about two weeks to get an LID. Not in our case. Evidently it is taking longer since they have to copy all of the documents from our previous dossier. Sigh...
This isn't a huge deal but it is disappointing. It seems as though everything in this adoption is taking a few weeks longer than it should. This is the part of the adoption process that drives me crazy. We have done everything required and now we have to wait for the various governments to do their part. I can't stand the fact that Sprout is halfway across the world waiting for us and there isn't a single thing we can do to make it go any quicker.
We still have no idea when we'll be traveling; that is all dependent on how longs it takes to get our LOA. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for September travel but it might be late September at this point. My head knows that would be great as we are leaning towards taking Chipmunk with us and that timeframe would fall during his fall break. But my heart just wants to hop on the next plane and hold Sprout in my arms as soon as possible.
And the adoption roller-coaster continues...

I am so sorry! Believe me, I understand how heartbreaking and frustrating it is! I wonder why your agency didn't just send a copy. I requested a copy from CWA and they scanned and emailed it. I forwarded it to CCAI and they sent it with our dossier packet. Our dossier was sent to China 4/22 and we were LID 5/4.
Just a suggestion but maybe you can get a copy from CWA and see if your agency will send it to China.
Anything to speed up the process right?!?!
Praying for you!

Blessings,
