The Century Club

It is very exclusive. Only a few can claim membership. Problem is, nobody wants to be part of it. Unless our LOA comes tomorrow or Friday, we will become official members of the Century Club - those who have waited over 100 days for an LOA. I never dreamed this would be us-everyone else we know has gotten theirs in less than 90 days in the past several months. I'm still running on God's peace here but it still makes me sad - sad to think that my little guy is waiting, and waiting and waiting. After my kids get their shots on the 6th, we will have EVERYTHING we need to hop on a plane. Except of course for an LOA and TA. I know we aren't alone in our membership (which kind of makes me sadder to think other kids are having to wait too) - my prayers go out to the others who are part of this exclusive club.

Melissa,

We are right there with you. I didn't think we would still be waiting for our LOA either...but then again we waited 104 days for our PA. Hope those LOA's come soon!! We just need to remember that God has this all under control!!

Hi Weikel Family,
We are also waiting on our LOA. Today was officially 90 days. We also never thought this would happen to our family but we also never thought FedEx would lose our dossier. This has been quite a journey. DTC 3/7/07, LID 4/4/07, referral 4/3/07, LOI 4/26/07.
We are just trusting that God has a plan in this. During our 1st adoption from China we met the greatest family from North Carolina and we know they will be our life time friends. So we are wondering if God is timing this for that purpose again or what the plan is.
I sometimes don't even feel like checking the AWAA Yahoo Group site - if you ever want to e-mail me please do - fwindsor@charter.net
We seem to be in a constant prayer mode for our LOA and we will include your family also.
Blessings,
Robyn

I Pray that you recieve a Miracle update and Picture on Caleb, My heart hurts for you, we have been so Blessed with the pictures for Katie, it seem ever time Id loose it and feel like that was the end God would have another Angel send us Picture to encourage us. I dont understand How I can get so many and you have not recieved any and the Time for your wait from LID to LOA, There is no rhyme or reason with Chian adoption, This is our first and Last lol I just thank God for letting me be a part of his great plan in all this I am Blessed! and Love and adore My Little Katie.
