Out Of Review......Finally!!!

"The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office before October 31, 2006.
The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office before December 14, 2005."


This is the news that my friend Pam emailed one of my groups before I went to bed last night. I was so happy when she posted this. Basically this means that China (CCAA) has looked over our adoption paperwork and has FINALLY cleared us to adopt. I know some of you are thinking "Hey, I thought you were already approved!?!" The way this adoption thing works is this....you submit your documents to your adoption agency and then hopefully they look them over with a fine tooth comb. Once they approve your paperwork they send it to China. Eventually people at the CCAA go through your papers again with a fine tooth comb. Sometimes people are questioned and asked to give more information. Once the CCAA has reviewed all files for your month they will update their site stating so. We were never questioned. This is a big sigh of relieve.

This does not mean however that will will find out who Diana is anytime soon. As of the beginning of Dec they had just given referrals to people who had LIDs up until 12/14/05 (Congrats Kelly!) There is a major backlog and no telling if there will be a speed up anytime soon. I will not even attempt to guess when we will get our referral. For right now I am content with being out of review and knowing that my friend Kelly will be meeting her little girl in the very near future.

Diana~Mommy loves you so much and can't wait to meet you. We have just found out that we are a step closer in the process. Although we know nothing about you, you are always in our hearts and on our minds. Hold tight baby girl we will continue to wait for you no matter how long it takes.
