Well, it's that time again! Our agency is expecting to receive referrals for families logged in through December 8th, '05 this week. Why does it seem that every month referrals come, we still have about a 6 month wait? I think, this time, we can honestly say, "6 more months!" If CCAA stays consistent in doing 1 week's worth of LID's per month, then it will take them at least 6 more months to make it to our LID of January 23, '06. Dec 9-16 in Dec
Dec 17-24 in Jan
Dec 25-31 in Feb
Jan 1-7 in Mar
Jan 8- 15 in Apr
Jan 16-23 in May (US!)
Although, 6 months seems like an eternity, it is actually just enough time to finish Kaelin's bedroom, install a new kitchen floor, clean and organize our house top to bottom, baby-proof everything, and buy everything on my packing list! Yikes! All of the sudden I'm feeling fairly panicked, here!
Congratulations to all of the families getting their referrals this month! Especially to our friends, Cheri and Shane, who are going to see their daughter, Hope's, sweet little face this week! We are so excited for you!

Hi Diane!!! Thank you so much for including us into your blog entry. We are so excited and hoping that we get the call tomorrow. I can't believe we are FINALLY going to see Hope's picture very soon.
Hang in there....I have a feeling it will be LESS than 6 months for you guys. It's such a great feeling once you do get that call...all the waiting is "behind you" and all you can think about is seeing her picture for the first time and anticipating travel and BRINGING HER HOME!!! It's a wonderful feeling and SO worth the wait!!
Love,
Cheri
Diane, I know what you mean about feeling panicked all of a sudden.. I guess this will pass the time for us while we wait a few more months to see our girls...
Hugs

Cheri, I sure hope you are right about it being LESS than 6 more months! I can't wait until you bring Hope home! What a huge milestone that will be for our group! Then it will be our turn, for sure!

Thanks for all of your thoughtful comments on our blog! I loved how you put that, "our girls...", that has such a nice sound to it!
Hugs to you both,
Diane
