We are in China!

As of last Friday, August 18th all our hard work is now safely in the hands of the people at the CCAA (Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs). We received a confirmation email that our Dossier was hand delivered so you would think we are at ease by now. I am so excited but Drew is still insisting, until we receive the next and final email for a very long time (well over a year), that we wait to "officially" celebrate when we receive our Log In Date.

We attend monthly luncheons here in Tampa at the Hao Wah. These are gatherings for families in Tampa who are waiting or have just adopted little ones from China. There is usually a guest speaker each month and of course lots of beautiful little girls to stare at. The first couple we met when we started going to these just received their referral after 1 year's wait. They will be leaving shortly to travel across the world to bring their beautiful little girl home. I have NO idea how this must feel after such a long wait! Also, a good friend of mine who is also a Media Specialist just joined the group as well. Her and her husband are working their way through their paperwork and they are right behind us! Hooray for Jennifer and Calvin!
