6 Days!





6 days were referred this month, finishing up January 2006. Yeah! I love it when a month finally finishes up! I think that is pretty good considering most Beijing businesses are currently closed because of the Olympic Games. It does however look like the CCAA was closed from January 28- Feb 5th, 2006 due to Chinese New Year, so in reality this batch really only covers 2 days worth of LID's, but I will happily check 6 days off the calendar. For anyone else who is tracking 'the wait', it took 3 years and 1 month to go from Jan 31st 2005 to Jan 31st 2006. Yikes...we still have a long way to go. We are however exploring our options and have updated our homestudy this past month to reflect a few special needs we have the resources to support, including Club foot, Cleft lip, and some other minor correctable orthopedic conditions. This will allow us to enter a 'second line' while still maintaining our current position. We are hoping to send our updated homestudy to an agency in Ottawa once we have Provincial approval to do so. Maybe in the next 4 months or so this will occur. As for our adoption from Taiwan, we are still number 9 on our agency's list. There have been no recent referrals from Taiwan to our agency for a few months now.

The above photo shows all the files of adoptive parents that have been sent to the CCAA. Apparently each agency has a different colored folder. I wonder what stack our dossier is in?
