IT'S POSITIVE! WE'RE PREGNANT!!

Paper pregnant, that is! We've just received word that our dossier has been logged in by the CCAA. Our log in date (LID) is April 4, 2007. We received word of this on the actual date on which the log-in occured, just two and a half weeks after our dossier was sent to China (DTC) on March 16, 2007.

As many of our family and friends know, our paperchase was horrendous, and as we've been running the race, the wait times from LID to referral have dramatically increased. When we began last May, they were approaching 12 months, and now that we're officially waiting, they are very close to 18 months. There's word that the wait could go over 24 months, but of course, no one really knows what will happen. We're in for the long haul. I'm afraid we have a very long wait ahead of us, but there's plenty to keep us busy. There's daily life, of course...one teenaged boy and three younger ones definitely keep us on our toes.
