The "rumor" is that the CCAA is matching this week, and we hear they may get past the 3rd. I don't believe they will make it all the way to the 7th...so we are setting our sights on an April referral ~ May at the latest.
In the meanwhile, I received this INCREDIBLE email from our amazing Social Worker, that I absolutely HAD to post on my blog...Enjoy!
~You know that I-600 & I-171 aren't highways....
~You've been expecting a baby for over 3 years....
~You understand that it's 2006 in some parts of the world....
~You've "paid for" 3 citizenships, but never brought anyone into the U.S....
~You know that waiting for China has nothing to do with Dillards or dishes..
~Your homestudy is followed by a number (i.e. #3 or #4)...
~You never know how many days next month will have...
~You know that babies come in batches...
~You've been fingerprinted four times, but never committed a crime...
~You automatically assume everyone who is expecting is having a girl...
~You own new clothing in 3 little sizes for all 4 seasons (because you don't know when or how big)...
~You look twice when you see a lady bug...
~You're more interested in what will happen in March 2006 than in March 2009...
~You know people who understand when you talk about 2 day months & 5 day months...
~Your due date hasn't changed by days, but by years...
~You know who the Rumor Queen is ... AND ... you don't know who she is...
~You know that forecast doesn't have anything to do with the weather...
~You've waited so long, they re-checked your fingerprints to see if they changed...
~Trying to understand why they're printing you again, you study your own fingerprints and wonder if fingerprints grow wrinkles...
~When you speak of "that time of month" you're talking about CCAA updates & referrals...
And finally...You might be adopting from China if you love someone you've never met with all your heart!!!

2 of Your AMAZING Comments Here!:
Kelly!!!!! You could have written every one of those!!!! Seriously....as I read each one I was thinking...she does....she did! We are still praying for our sweet niece Ms. Addie Grace and we can't wait to hold her. Thanks for the update. I know she'll be here soon!
Awwww man... Shannon done stole my thunder, baby! Just read this one this morning and I was going to say EXACTLY the same thing.
The one line that really is "you" in here is "you love someone you've never met with all your heart." If that isn't my wife, I don't know who it is. Your love and longing has kept our baby girl warm and safe across the ocean and I know that we will be holding her together very soon.
Thank you for being so incredibly faithful everyday, each year that has passed. You, like your Father, have known this little girl since before she was in the womb. That's amazing. How many people have had the chance to experience something of this intensity. There's something very special here that we don't even know the half of, and I believe we're going to be blown away many times over as we walk this road with our family.
Thank you for being obedient to the call. You are an amazing woman and I am SO blessed to call you my wife.
I love you, baby!
