We are through the REVIEW ROOM!!!


A time to celebrate! The CCAA has passed our dossier on to the matching room. So, that means that they have officially approved us to adopt a little girl from their country. We didn't think there would be a problem - there were no arrests in our background (or at least none that showed up on Vince's record - just kidding) and we don't have any health issues - but it is one more hurdle that we have jumped.

Now - we keep saying, come on referrals!! I am really hoping that things are speeding up - they have about 4 months of Log in Dates to get through before ours which is 12-9-05. I am really hoping that we will be getting our referral in March or April and will travel May or June - at the latest maybe travel in Aug or Sept - but of course the sooner the better!

My friend Annie said hearing this news was like feeling the baby kick for the very first time- and that is a really good analogy. We kind of think - "maybe this is really going to happen after all!"

I'll post more news soon!

It's been 9 months, WHERE'S MY BABY???



Yesterday, 9/9/2006 was officially 9 months since our LID - Log in Date (our paperwork registered in China). Right now, our dossier is in the review room - they just finished reviewing Nov 2005 dossiers. So, this had me thinking - at 9 months, I had the boys - no more waiting. Not so now - my patience is being tested - and let me tell you, this is one very anticpated little girl.

I keep saying I hope they speed things up - maybe they will this month! More to come soon!
