Wow, It has been a long time since the last posting. Fourteen months and counting since our log in date (LID) to the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA). That means that our paperwork made it to China on October 1, 2006. At that time the wait for a referral was about 14 months. For those who received referrals this month (Dec. 07) the wait was 24 months. The CCAA has slowed to a crawl the number of days referred every month and doing the rough math, we may have another 3-4 years to wait. Meanwhile our immigration approval will expire in January and we are currently in the process of renewing that approval, officially called the I-600A. Our social worker updated our home study last month (in our new house- more on that to follow). We get one free renewel so we will get that in this month. I will update progress as it comes.

Meanwhile, much has been happening here in Michigan, We sold our house in Maple City, baught a house in Williamsburg, MI- just ease of Traverse City, Dave and I now have a shorter dirve to work and live on a sunny farm - with a big red barn! We have 4.5 acres with a beautiful countryside view and lakes on either side of us. Our new house is large enough for a growing (hopefully) family with plenty of room for visiting family and friends- so please come.
More to come...
