It is official... we have been matched

Monday, October 08, 2007 | |

Check it out... the news we've been waiting for for many many many months. OK... hurry up and get that paperwork to us. We need to get it back on its way to China so that we can get there before Christmas. Hey everyone out there.... find me someone who officially received their paperwork during the week of October 10 and travelled before Christmas. It sure is cutting it close.

YEEHAW!!!!!!!!

So, on whatever day that we receive our referral (You'll hear it here first), we'll be having an open house that night to see the pic. If you want to see the pic before it's posted here, stop by and share in our joy.

To end on a sad note, we really feel bad that they only matched to Nov 30. There's a couple of local families who are close behind and it would've been really cool to meet up in China for a quick visit. Our hearts are out to you all right now.

Hey Guys, we are ssssoooo excited and happy for you. The BIG roller coaster ride really now begins!! Hang on for an amazing trip. We've been home from China a year and 2 months and we are still enjoying every second of our new family.

Can't wait to see your baby's picture.

Yay! it's official. I'd just check out the CB referral time line and compare dates. I think you have no worries. We got our referral on the 12th of July and we're scheduled to travel with our group on August 30th. As you know, they all travelled. So really it takes no time at all. I'd bet you'll be traveling the first week of Dec. Freezing your butts off on the Great Wall!! :)

There is NO reason why you guys should not travel before Christmas......Cb groups have traveled at 7-7 1/2 weeks before,I look at it by starting to count the weeks from the time your Ontario families received their referrals,you see us NB folks may wait longer for our referral however we may have a shorter wait to travel.......see there is a way to think positive and have little Gertie home before HO HO arrives!!!!!

We did! We had a Thanksgiving referral, Dec. 1 Gotcha Day. It can be done. Home on Dec. 12. (That was in 1998, not sure if paper work is faster or slower these days.) Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing her photo!

Oh, I can't wait to see her picture!! I just did some looking at dates...we travelled 7 weeks and 4 days after receiving our referral. That would put you guys travelling in early December. Not a doubt in my mind that you'll get there before Christmas!! Please keep us posted on the status of your file!!

Don't worry you will be there before Christmas... but if I were you I would be doing my Xmas shopping tomorrow :) once that referral arrives you won't be thinking Xmas... Oh what was I thinking Gertie will be the best gift ever, who will need anything else.
