6 Months

January 2, 2008 HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have now been logged in for 6 months! When we first made the decision last January to adopt, we thought that this would mark our halfway point to our daughter, now we are thinking that will not be the case. This month, only 5 days of LIDs were referred, two of which were a weekend, so realistically, this batch only covers 3 days. This basically brings us to a snail's pace. I am really trying to not get discouraged, but it is hard. I long to have a baby in my arms....

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008! Well, my New Years resolution is to finally figure out how to use this Blog site!

5 Months

December 6, 2007 Month five and only 6 days were referred this month. At this current rate, it will take 4 months to get through December 2005. We are hearing speculation that we will start seeing the promised 15 day batches in January. If by some miracle at least 15 days get referred next month, the families waiting will have waited exactly 2 years to get their babies, which is what the CCAA is saying they are trying to keep the wait time to....time will tell.

4 Months

November 2, 2007 Month four...what to say? if only we knew how many more were remaining. This month's referral batch looks like it covers 8 days, which brings us to December 8, 2005. A somewhat larger batch than the previous months, but still not the 15 days the CCAA had said they hoped to deliver.

3 Months

October 2, 2007...Month three and finally the CCAA has gotten through November 2005...six months later I might add. Now the question remains...will it speed up now? In order for the CCAA to keep to their 2 year wait calculations they will have to refer at least 15 days in November and 15 days in December. With the current trend of 2-7 day referral batches each month, it seems doubtful....but we have hope!

2 Months

September 2, 2007. We have now been logged in 2 months. This referral batch was small...only 4 days of log in dates. There was an early rumor that this batch might have included December dates, but no such luck.

1 Month

August 2, 2007 Well we have survived the first month of our official wait....if only we knew how many more months we have to go...And the countdown begins...
