18 Months and Counting

Another month has passed and I have now reached my 18th month of our paper pregnancy. How much longer will this go on? Who knows and with the rate of referrals recently, I hope we don't have to wait another 18 months. But if that is what it takes to bring our daughter home, you will be seeing more posts like this one.

In other news....the CCAA updated their website this evening and it is official:


The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office before August 31, 2006.
The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office before November 30, 2005.

All I can say to that news is....YUCK!

Referrals are Arriving!

Today referrals began to arrive and it looks like the cut-off date is probably November 30th, 2005. This means that the CCAA only referred 3 days this month (really it was 5 days, but 2 of those days were weekend days). It has taken over 6 months for the CCAA to get through November 2005, so how long will it take them to get through the rest of 2005?

This news has discouraged me, but I am prepared to wait as long as it takes to bring Olivia home.

Congratulations to everyone who has received their referrals for their sons and daughters.
