FINALLY Official Word

They changed the website at China Center for Adoption Affairs! To those not deeply immersed in international adoption...that means that the next batch (or Genevieve's referral!!!!) of referrals are winging their way towards families all over the globe!

Courier packages with photos, some bits and pieces of information about children and location of these adoptees are moving towards the various adoption agencies in Canada, US, Austrailia and Europe. 3-7 days of travel time is average with about 1/2 day of review time by the agencies once they are received.

Realistically if they were sent off on Halloween it would be Friday before my Children's Bridge agency would receive the packages and Monday before I can expect THE CALL.

I'' be on pins and needles until then. But since I've felt on pins and needles, head in the clouds for the last month...I'll be beyond logical thought and should stay away from operating motor vehicles and heavy machinery!

Cheers!
