3 Years Since Sending Our Dossier to China
Three years ago today our agency mailed our dossier to China and the wait officially began. We didn't know we would still be waiting three years later, but here we are....

2 years and 10 months
We are on pins and needles anticipating our referral for Oliver from Ethiopia. We are so anxious to get the call and see his face. As we approach 4 months of waiting for our referral from Ethiopia I am reminded that we can wait and wait with this adoption. We are approaching 3 years of waiting-- 2 years, and 10 months as of today for Emma Claire. It reminds me we can endure as we are doing for Emma Claire.

A Speed Up?
Ok, so its been a while since I posted--5 months to be exact. A rumor is gaining momentum in the China adoption community---that there will be a speed up---more referrals in 2009 than in 2008.
I will take notice of this new rumor but I am not banking on it. Right now the CCAA has referred through March 6, 2006. We still have 225 referral days ahead of us.
I think at the minimum we have another 1.5 years to wait. In the next few months we will need to prepare to begin our 1-800 paperwork. Hopefully by the time we file the USCIS will be a little faster in processing this documentation.

DTC Two Years Ago Today
Two years ago today our dossier was sent to China. On 10-16-06 we will officially have been logged in and waiting for a referral for two years. We still wait for Emma Claire and I still follow all the rumors and referrals.
As I stated before, we still wait and wait and wait.

Making a Decision
After thinking and researching we have decided to pursue a concurrent adoption. We officially began our journey this week to adopt an infant male from Ethiopia. You can read and follow our Ethiopian journey here .We are approaching 2 years since we sent our dossier to China. We are still waiting for Emma Claire and will continue to wait. The only change in plans is that Emma Claire will be our youngest instead of the middle child.
