Well, here we are at the 4 month mark and still not a speed up yet with CCAA. It is also the Jewish New Years today. Hoping that where ever you are you are having a happy New year and maybe we will be holding you this time next year.

Brown Envelope

While things are still going very slowly, currently referrals are coming approximately 14 months after LID - and today is our three month mark, we did get our brown envelope today.

A letter to Rose written on Tuesday April 11th 2006

Dear Rose,

Yesterday I sent out the last piece of paperwork that has to go through the system. It is the I-171, in some ways I am relieved to know that we are almost at the end of the paperchase, but on the other hand I will no longer be able to work on bringing you home. You will soon be in other hands as far as getting you adopted. Your mother and I can not wait to bring you into our family. I know that with us you will know love.

First Posting

I have been told that posting to a blog can help alleviate the anxiety that can develop while you are waiting to be matched. Susanne and I have just past the one month anniversary of our LID and it seems like it has been years.

I just hope that writing things down will help.
