Olivia

For the past week, I guess I have done a lot of pacing and watching the Internet for any updates, etc. (Actually for the past 2 months, there was a very slim chance that we would have been included for a referral.) Finally today the referrals came out for August. The official information is that referrals were placed up to and through 1-31-2006. The strange thing is the CCAA office was closed and did not take any dossiers from 1-28-2006 up to and including 2-5-2006. This means the very next day that China has to work with is our day.

This would mean WE ARE NEXT!! Our LID is 2-6-2006.

China has always taken complete days, so it looks like we will be matched next month with our daughter. This usually happens anywhere from about the 3rd or 4th of the month till about the 9th or 10th. So I'll definately will be pacing and working through the labor, just after Labor Day.

We've started a Blog for Olivia, to keep everyone up to date about what is going on. Plus we'll post pictures of her when we get them. Also, it will be our travel blog when we head to China to pick her up. Traveling might be by Bob's birthday 10/10 or by the end of October, 2008.
