13 days worth

I am just starting to understand this whole process of CCAA...it seems like people are happy to hear that they matched 13 days worth, I think it was 9 before so this is definitely progress, we are still far away from being matched but it is good to hear positive news in the right direction.

Log-in date May 19th

Well we received an email from the province on Wedneday June 7th that they had received written notification from CCAA that our log-in date for our documents was May 19th, 2006. (LID- May 19th) Our documents were sent to China (DTC) on May 16th...see above photo where friend and colleague Stephanie put a message on my white board at school after hearing the news (thanks for all your support, Steph. Steph and her husband adopted a little girl from China too). That part of the process( from DTC to LID) went fairly quickly too bad the rest couldn't go as fast. In the mail a couple of weeks ago I received my Magnolia Doll to see more information on here go to: www.magnoliaandfriends.com there are some really neat things there to buy. I like that the lady,Marcia, that owns the company also adopted three times from China and she is SUPER nice, everything seems so personal and she even wrote me an email wishing me luck with the process. My favorite thing about my Magnolia doll is the little piece of red thread in her pocket that came all the way from China and Marcia picked out herself!

Savannah's Ladybugs

I was cleaning out the closet in the spare bedroom (hopefully nursery one day) and sorting through Savannah's old clothes ( I keep everything) and found these two little outfits that used to be hers and now will one day be Tya's...is that a coincidence?...I think not (ladybugs are definitely a sign, even before I was aware of the red thread it was there)
