15 months today

It's been 15 months today since our paperwork was logged in China. Wow! That's a much longer wait than what we expected 15 months ago.

Any day now, the CCAA should be announcing the next batch of referrals and adjusting their dates of where they are with the matching. Like I mentioned earlier, there's 40 some paper days of files ahead of us. On average, they've been taking 2 calendar days to process 1 paper day so they've been processing about 2 weeks of paper files for every month that passes. Let's hope that they stay consistent or make even more progress this month.

This weekend is the yearly Children's bridge trip to Moncton. They're calling for a whopper of a Nor'Easter starting Friday so I hope that it doesn't affect the turnout too much. Friday night is the Information Session for families that may be interested in adopting. Saturday is an all day seminar on preparing for the baby, what to expect when in China, etc... we've been to this twice in the last 2 years so we'll probably skip this. Sunday is some speakers including an adult adoptee who grew up in Cape Breton. This will be quite interesting as it will put a perspective on what it was like growing up in the Maritimes.
