Feb. 16th

It appears some family with LID's of 2/16/08 received their referral yesterday! This is out of the blue and it's not clear what this means yet. Hopefully all of 2/16/08 [surprisingly] received their referrals and that's another day out of our way. :)

6 days....inching closer

Referrals started arriving today, and even though the cut-off date hasn't been made official, it looks like Feb. 15th will be it. 6 days...not great, but we'll definitely take it.

What does this mean for us? There are 27 days ahead of us. If the CCAA continues to refer 6 days per month, we're looking at March 2009 for our referral.

P.S. September 12th marked our 3-year anniversary of mailing our application to our adoption agency. I look good for 36-months pregnant!

It's official....

Feb. 9th is the cut-off! (Funny how your perspective changes....I'm excited over 9 days of referrals.) Here's what all this means for us: There are 33 dates ahead of ours. If the CCAA continues to refer 9 days per month, we're looking at January 2009 for our referral. Looks like we've hit the stage where we need to start talking about child care arrangements.

Fingers Crossed

The rumors have started and they're stating Feb. 9th as the cut-off. Boy I hope this is true! That will mean only 33 days in front of us. That also means IF the CCAA continues to refer 9 days a month, we're looking at January 2009 for our referral! I have to calm down; I can't be this excited at the rumor stage...

Surprise, Surprise

The CCAA did something today that has not happened since we started this journey....we received a good surprise. The cut-off for this month is Jan. 31st. Yes, it's only 6 days, but we were prepared for only 2 days. Also, "on deck" next is February. Slowly but very surely, they're making their way to March 14th. (OMG....can this really be happening???)

Once again, what does this mean for us? There are currently 42 days ahead of us. If the CCAA continues to refer 6 days per month, we'll receive our referral in March 2009.

I've posted this video before, but the song has become one of my favorites and I wanted to share it again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY_FpV05n-c

Maybe 2 days?

The rumors have started on www.chinaadopttalk.com and two words for you....they're ugly! (I could have used a variety of two-word combinations instead.) I'll post more when I know more. Ugh!!! There's so many times I wonder how we're surviving this.

Onto other things....enjoy this sweet video and story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLYxtuC0oRk&feature=related
