no baby....

i regret to announce we are no longer expecting a baby.
bill and i have decided to go our separate ways and are getting divorced.
i am planning on relocating to the greater baltimore area and bill is staying in NH.
we remain friends.
thanks to all who have been with us in this journey.

matched through January 20th

this month they got from 1/12 to 1/20...steadily closer.....

2 years...

well April 29, 2008 made it 2 years of official wait...and referrals are only out through January 12....
getting closer, but with the Olympics in Bejing this summer, I doubt there will be any speeding up any time soon.
2009 baby?

23 months...

as we appraoch the 2 year wait mark, we still have no idea when....they have matched through 1/4/2006 so far...which still leaves almost 4 months of families ahead of us. while traveling this year is possible, we are starting to think it unlikely....we'd love to be surprised on this one though :)
i managed to go through all of the clothes we have for her and get things sorted into bins by size and season. now we just keep on waiting..

feb 2008 referrals

well, they made it through 12/27/2005 this time...which is a big improvement from last month. but still a long way to go.

ah the wait...

so rumors are flying, now that the CCAA has taken down the part of their website where they used to post where they were in the process of reviewing families and referring children. That information is now not being released to the public. Some agencies are speculating that people with LID in April 2006 (that's us) might not see their referrals until 2009!
ugh.
what will be will be, but man would we be happier if we just knew what was going on....

matches through 12/19/2005

i promise to update this more often this year, because hopefully we should be getting closer to real news....
this month, the CCAA refered only 5 days again (from 12/15-12/19).

this stinks, but at least referrals are still happening.
i guess we are 5 days closer to our LID of 4/29/2006, but it seems so far away.
and a big question-how will the olympics in Bejing this summer affect things???
we have no idea.
fingers crossed we meet our daughter this year....
