What "Next" Means

I thought I should go back a little and let everyone know what "next" means. The CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) are the people who match the children to their new parents. They send out the referrals on average once a month. The one thing that has varied so greatly is the number of Log In Dates they include each month. The last batch of referrals were received Feb. 1, and the CCAA was closed for Chinese New Year all last week, so our best guess is we will get our referral either the first or second week of March (I Know, that is soon, huh?). After we get the "call" from our adoption agency, we will drop everything and go to the agency to see our little girl for the first time. At that time, we will accept the referral and then it will take another 4-6 weeks before we travel. We have to receive Travel Approval from China and also schedule our Consulate Appointment.
I think that is all I was missing, oh and Christy, thank you for inspiring me to start this blog. Your enthusiasm was contagious!!
