Got some news today from the agency...

It was a lot to take in and it was the exact wording from China. But in short it looks like they are going to start speeding up the special needs program in China. That's really good news for us!!!!!!

They also extended the period of time that after we lock in a child that the paperwork has to get to China from 48 hours to 72 hours-that's good news also!!

The people that already have a log in date (LID) with the CCAA, and adopting special needs, they are looking to match these people soon because they have been in the system so long. So, what a time for us to switch to special needs, looks like we hit that just right!!!

On the down side, we don't know when the next list comes out and Pat our adoption agent is going on vacation from the 12-23 of March. So I'm hoping that someone will cover and keep up on the lists while she's gone...I would think so...I hope so. We don't want to miss a list!!

Gary and I think maybe they aren't expecting a list to come out during that time. They know how long all of us have been in process, and I would think they wouldn't want us to miss a list either.

But all in all really great news for us on maybe a speed up even more of the referral!!!

HOORAY!!! Finally a break in all of this waiting!!!!

We go get the crib tomorrow, and Gary is going to assemble it tomorrow afternoon. I'm was hoping to get some pictures of him putting it together, but I will be at work. Maybe I can get him to set up the tripod and take some while he's putting it together. It's a moment...and we would like some pictures to put up here!!

Have a great day!!!

This is great news, and even more proof that everything happens for a reason. I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers as you wait for the list that has your little girl(!) on it. In the meantime, can't wait to see crib pics!
