One Month Ago Today....

we were on a LOOOOONG flight home.
I cannot believe we haven't even been home one month.
It seems like we've been back forever. It really feels like we never even left.
It seems like Lili's been here forever. It doesn't so much feel like we've had her since birth, just that she's been around forever.

Our agency just received another SN/Waiting Children list.
They, however have decided to change the process.
6 months ago when we found Lili, the list was sent out to all families in the process of adopting from China, or DTC (dossier to China).
Now they've decided to send the list out only to the families who are already through the review room in China. That means families who were LID before August 2006. If you recall, we were LID September 13, 2006. So, in a nutshell that means that we wouldn't have gotten the list.
Wow.
Our agency did say that any children who weren't matched with a family would be re-released to all the other families who are LID. So maybe Lili wouldn't have been matched with anyone and we would have "gotten" her anyway, but that's a chance I'm so glad we didn't have to take.
But on the other hand, Lili was meant for our family, hand-picked by God for us, so I'm sure we would've found our way to each other regardless.
I do know that a lot of families were really upset about the change, and I know I'd be one of them too.
I don't know. I'm just so glad to be DONE! DONE! DONE!!
I'm so glad that Lili's home.
