Adoption Update

We got word that the CCAA only referred up to 3/6/06, which translates into 4 days this month. You have to understand that before this horrible slowdown in referrals, the CCAA averaged approximately 15-20 days referred per month...sometimes even and entire month.

I started to track the number of days referred each month once we hit 365 days or our one year mark to our LID date and that was in October 2008. Since October 2008 - March 2009 there have only been a total of 18 days referred.

I KNOW!! IT'S CRAZY RIGHT! It has taken the CCAA 6 months to refer what used to take a month. IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU CRAZY AND THINK THAT YOUR ADOPTION WILL NEVER, EVER HAPPEN, because your getting to old or you may get sick...it's odd, the fascination you get about getting sick...it's just morbid...every little cough or blotch you think it's the worse and it's incurable...I'm getting paranoid...really I am and I'm making Michael CRAZY!

But this is what China Adoption does to us waiting parents. I actually think that if my sanity holds out and we get Alison home, that I'm going to be the MOST patient mother this little one could ever have OR I'm just going to turn her into a completely spoiled rotten brat...well maybe just spoiled...not really rotten or a brat.
