Moving On Up

Our adoption agency, CCAI, placed 16 children a couple of weeks ago!! I called to find out our "place in line" now and was told approximately #100. I was a little disappointed, had hoped we were about #80, but considering we have been in the thousands, I'll take it!! Will let everyone know when the line moves again. Or, any other interesting news.

MAY '08

We finally recieved our extension on our I 171 & new fingerprint approvals after 12 weeks & 4 days!! We are ready to GO when we get our referral. Our agency placed over 36 children last month! We believe, hope, pray, that we may recieve our referral by the end of the year. I am guessing anywhere from September to December is a possibility. Michael's birthday is in September & that would be a great b'day present. However, I believe that Oct. or Nov. is probably more realistic. I really wish we could have our baby home for Christmas, or be in China at Christmas.
We submitted a Medical Conditions Checklist with our agency on December 10, 2007. This allows us to select what special needs we are willing to consider. Since we will be first time parents we were not that adventurous.
Keep checking back I am going to attempt to post once a week if I have info. Once every two weeks even if I don't!!!
