Family Dreams

We are keeping this little blog to let our friends and family know of our experiences as we journey towards building our family through adoption. We are hoping to adopt from China, and plan on posting any information we can to keep everyone up to date, as well as any pictures that are important. We welcome any questions or comments, and they can be left by clicking the "comments" link at the end of each post. No question is a dumb question!!! We hope you enjoy our journey as much as we plan to.

Back on the blog!



So much has happened in the last few months. We have finally gotten settled into our new home, and are feeling much comfortable with our new space. We are starting to come up with ideas for the nursery.

On the adoption front, we have been logged in with CCAA since August 8, 2006. (A great date since this is Aunt Donna and Uncle Gary's anniversary). We then received a letter from FOI saying that we were to have a long wait ahead of us 4-8 months until they expect a referral for us. This is not really a long wait considering what many families have to wait for their referrals. FOI expected travel 6-8 weeks after the referral. For us that would mean travel anywhere from November to June. Dan is really hoping for a March travel date, that way it would fall between calving and haying season. I would love to go anytime.

We had another trip home for the twins Christening. Dan had some bonding time with Nick and Katie, and this was one of the pictures we took with our god daughter. Dan was so good with Katie and had a good time. While we couldn't quite convince him to change a diaper, he did enjoy holding her, talking to her, and comparing his hands with hers. Unfortunately, I was behing the camera and did not get a chance to take pictures of me with the babies.
