A Lottie Update

After a very long 4 days of checking email after Chinese New Year ended, we finally got some news! 
We made it to the next step and our Dossier is Logged-In (LID). Now we can watch it go through the next steps like translation and review to LOA (Letter of Acceptance) which should take 2-3 months. It's always good to hear we've crossed another step.
We also got a precious little report from the orphanage about our baby! 
1) Please provide current measurements: [Basically, she is only a bit under the average for a 3 year old stats. Most important to know is that she wears a 7 or 8 toddler sized shoe! Anyone have some their little girls have grown out of?]
2) We sent pajamas in our care package. Were they too big or did they fit?
yes, fit good [Yay! They were 18-24 months from The Children's Place]
3) Has she been spoken to about adoption and does she know she is being adopted?
we told her but maybe she is not understand that clear , we are teaching her now ,
4) Does she sleep in a bed or crib; does she share with another child?
she sleep in her own crib and share room with other kids ,
5) What seemed to be her favorite thing in the care package we sent?
toy dog 

This does a waiting mom's heart such good. My friend Deborah and I were just texting about how weird a feeling it is to miss someone that we've never met. I do miss her and cannot wait to hold her and kiss her and hear her little voice.
