Bring Me Hope

Baby steps forward!!!

The CCAA has finished

the review of the adoption

application documents

registered with our office

before March 31, 2006.

The CCAA has finished

the placement of children

for the families whose

adoption application

documents were

registered with our office

before October 24, 2005.

So what does this mean? Families whose documents were logged in with the CCAA between Oct.14 and Oct. 24, 2005 have finally been matched with their babies! Our LID (Log in date) is Sept. 8 2006! That's 318 days of LID's before ours. The CCAA has been matching an average of 2 weeks of LID's per month, lately. But Oct. and Nov. 2005 were reportedly huge months in terms of #'s of families with LID's during those months. At this rate, we anticipate the wait to extend to about 2 years from LID to referral, but pray it does not extend too much further!

Families with LID's in March of 2006 have made it through the review room. This means the CCAA has given final approval for these families to adopt from China and their dossier will now move to the matching room. April and May LID's are now in review. We are hoping to be in review by the end of 2007.

We are slowly moving forward, but at least it's progress. Every day brings us a little closer to our baby girl!!!!
