Fingerprints redone!

Well, yesterday we spent the morning in lovely Milwaukee to have our fingerprints renewed. Now we just have to wait for our I-171H forms to come in the mail. Hopefully we won't have to go through this again, but I have a feeling 18 months from now, we'll be doing this all over again!

Thanks mom and dad for a lovely lunch! An extra bonus for coming in to Milwaukee!

Date Night

I've been a bit down lately. The wait seems to be excruciatingly long. They are now thinking that it will be closer to 30 or more months to referral. The CCAA just has not been getting through the dossiers like we would like. Looking back, they have only been getting through around 5 days worth of LIDs per month.

So, I needed a bit of a pick-me-up date night with my lovely husband. We went to see Pixar's Ratatouille (very cute movie!) and then went to an Irish Restaurant - to prepare us for our trip to Ireland. It was nice to get out of the house.

Another bad month

Well, the CCAA has had another dismal month of referrals. Only 5 days worth of LID's. But, it is progress, but not as much as we would have hoped for. At this rate it could be another 2 years before we get our daughter, but I surely hope not. They keep saying that things will speed up. Time will tell...

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.

Adopted with Love

I just received this beautiful die cut from Carly, a fellow adoptive mom in one of my chat groups. She was so sweet to send it to about 20 of us. I just about cried when I opened the envelope. I can't wait to use it in my Lifebook for my daughter.
