We have been notified that FINALLY, our paperwork is going into review! The China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) has finished reviewing all dossiers up to January 31, 2007! The CCAA notifies the adoption agencies of their progress and they only update the review status when all dossiers are done for that particular month.
Now is the nail biting time to see if we will be questioned about anything that is in our paperwork. Hopefully, if we are questioned, we will sail through with no problems.
Let's hope that we have a quick review for February 2007. This is a huge milestone in our journey to China and Alison. Once we get through review we are then sent to the Matching Room to be matched with our baby girl. This will be another long line, but it's proof that the line is moving.

I didn't give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know. The love I feel is deep and real, as if it had been so. For us to have each other is like a dream come true! No, I didn't give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you.
