Signing Off (for now)

With not much happening in our adoption world for a while now, the blogging tank is running a bit empty... So, after much consideration, we have decided to take an indefinite hiatus. Our plan is to return when the time feels right.

We want everyone to know how much we appreciate you keeping up with us through this journey so far and for all the love and encouragement you've given us along the way.

Have a good summer and take care! Until we blog again...

Rain, rain go away...

Here is what our backyard looks like this afternoon....



The rain gauge reads 4.5" so far today...

21 Months

Our paperwork has been logged in for 21 months now.

This month the CCAA referred 8 days, from 1/13/06-1/20/06. This brings the current wait up to about 29 months...the wait is basically increasing a half a month to a full month each month.

Here is a great graph by another blogger showing the trends over the last few years...you can see how drastically things have changed .

The next couple of months should be interesting. The Olympics start in August and there is still no clear answer with what is going to happen with adoptions during that time. Some agencies are telling their clients that everything will continue on as normal just no travel to Beijing during the Olympics. Other agencies are telling their clients that there will be no travel during August. Some agencies are even staying that travel approvals and referrals will be affected in the months surrounding the Olympics. It's probably safe to say that the Olympics will have some effect but since the CCAA has not given any official word, we still don't know how it will affect the waiting parents.

Now then, where did I place that crystal ball....
