This month the CCAA has gotten through families logged in on or before August 9th 2005. This is 18 days worth of referrals since last month. Once again we are Login Date August 30th of 2005. This means if the CCAA can do 21 days worth of referrals this month then WE ARE NEXT. It's a bit of a long shot since they have not done that many days worth in a long time, but it's just 3 days more than this month. Can you believ e that there is a chance that we will finally see Sophia's beautiful face within a month? We are so close.

The CCAA cut off at the August 25th of 05 and we are August 30th 05, so we are definetly next. I know this because the CCAA does not log in anyone on weekends, and the 25th was on a Friday, so all they have to do is 3 days worth of people (it has never been less than 5 days the 15 months we have been waiting). This means I should finally see a picture of Sophia within 2 weeks, and we should travel to get her within 6 weeks of that. We won't have her home by Christmas like we hoped, but we are going to leave the tree up until we get home and celebrate Christmas with our daughter then. We figure she is only a year old, she won't know the difference.

That's cool NotDon. Did you get her from birth, or from foster care?


We were put on notice by our agency to be ready for the phone call. We should be hearing something this week :D

chinese adoptions are the longest i think of anywhere in the world. we have friends to adopted a little girl several years ago and the entire process from start to finish took so long, i was discouraged for them. they finally got her when she was 10 months old and her only "issue" was the flat head due to being in the crib all the time and never really being held, so they had her fitted with one of those helmets that helps the skull reshape and they spent lots of time loving and hugging and playing and socializing her. and now she's a beautiful, healthy, happy average 5 yr old.

The CCAA has updated their website to show that they have finished matching through September 8th of 2005... we are August 30th 2005, so YES, as we thought we aere included. Normally we would get "THE CALL" the second our agency gets our referral. So now it is a matter of any minute now, instead of any day now. I should see my daughters face TODAY!!

More updates forthcoming when I can...

I keep checking my phone to make sure it is on and working (because it has not rang yet). Holy Crap I am excited. I think I just puked in my mouth a little bit.
