Progress, Sweet Progress

Congratulations to all the families receiving referrals today!!!!Looks like referrals covered up to October 13, 2005. Our magic date is March 14, 2006 so that puts almost exactly 5 months worth of dossiers in front of us. No, that doesn't mean we are 5 months away from a referral - I am still hoping for a very special Christmas present. However, for some reason this group of referrals has given me hope. It seems possible for the first time in months.

I was already feeling good about things and then a few minutes ago saw this on the CCAA website:

The CCAA has
finished the review of
the adoption
application documents
registered with our
office before March
22, 2006.

We are finally out of the review room people!!!! Whoo Hoo!!! This is big!!! This means all of our dossier t's were crossed and i's were dotted just the right way. Maybe all of that obsessing over the paperwork was worth it after all. I really wanted to get out of that review room but I didn't realize how relieved I would feel seeing the official update.

The next big stop for our little dossier is the matching room. I imagine the matching room is quite backed up at the moment so maybe our dossier is hanging out in the hallway outsite the matching room. Maybe they have added a waiting room for the matching room... either way, being out of review is GOOD.

Big Congrats!!!
I remember that was a biggie for us too. Odd thing was, our daughter's picture was hanging out in the matching room, starting in October '05, and stayed there for almost 4 full months. We were supposed to be matched in November, '05 and time started slowing down then, so we were not matched till February '06. Her info was waiting for us the entire time.
You are that much closer to the red thread getting shorter.

I think that means that Lulu is waiting to be born. She wants to make sure you get the right little girl so she has to time her arrival on the waiting list to match you dossier's place on that list. Congratulations on getting to this place!!! Still storming heaven with the prayers
