CCAA has moved

Well, according to information obtained by the Rumor Queen, www.isorumors.blogspot.com (This site has some interesting and somewhat encouraging speculations today. Check it out if you follow that sort of thing. Come on, admit it, you are probably as addicted as the rest of us,) the CCAA has finally embarked upon the move to another building. You know the one...........the move we have all be talking about and dreading since last fall? Supposedly, the move is almost complete and employees are already working in the new building.

It is also surmised that this exceedingly small batch of referrals resulted from a combination of factors including the Hunan trials which has resulted in orphanages being extra cautious in submitting paperwork, and this huge move. Now that both are over, the hope is that referrals will speed up just a bit.

The new rumor is that we may get another batch before the end of the April---although I dont know how thats different since we have been getting them in the last week of the month anyway???

Most agencies are still saying the referral window is 10-12 months from LID..............until I see my agency change that, then I guess I'm going to assume my window is still between July and October. Frankly, I've made it this far, so that doesnt really seem so bad anymore.

Jimmy and I were at dinner last night and he said that we wouldnt be bothered by this at all if we had started out thinking a year from the beginning, and even if we knew the slow down would occur, it wouldnt have changed our plans. he's right. We wouldnt have thought a year was a big deal--after all, we've been trying to become parents for almost a decade!

I also have been in contact with Deniece in the waiting child dept. at CCAI and they have new waiting child files that are in translation. I think its awesome that the waiting child program has taken off like it has. I love the idea of adopting a child with a special need. Who knows, maybe Amelia will be on this list.
