Our Crazy Little Life

I just realized that I have not posted in 2 months. Wow, I can't believe that. I have been so busy with the holidays that I have had no time. My job has really taken a turn with the purchase of the Saturn store. So that means no doing anything at work except work!!! We are waiting for immigration to invite us to renew our fingerprints. They sent a letter letting us know that they received our re newel application but they are back logged (as usual). I want to introduce you to a website (http://www.china-ccaa.org/frames/index_unlogin_en.jsp) this is a website that we have looked at allot over the past almost 2yrs. This website is the actual site for the agency in China that handles adoptions. The agency is "Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs" or CCAA. Which is not to be confused with our adoption agency CCAI. If you look to the right on the site and past all of the Chinese writing it has a couple of very important blocks under Document Processing. The first tells us which dates have been reviewed. Then next tells you which dates have been placed with children. Just in case you didn't know our date is 11/08/2006. That is our log in date. If you look at the dates you will notice that the last date in review was 10/31/2006, which can only mean that we are in review as we speak.


Now normally this is no big deal. However in May of 2007 China decided to tighten the rules a little. However they have swore that they would only apply to documents that was received in their office after May 1, 2007. They changes that would effect us are the rules on the Body Mass Index and the medication rules. As we all know I have a Body Mass Issue..hehe and Joe takes medication for Bipolar. We are slightly nervous because we have heard rumours that they have questioned some prospective parents about these same issues even though it was not supposed to effect them. The good news is we have not heard of anyone being turned down at this point. So yes that is good news.


So just keep watching those dates in the first block and pray!!!!! When they surpass 11/08/2006 then we will celebrate and be back to our long wait!!!


Hope everyone had a great New Years!!! Lots of Love from Joe.
