One Year Anniversary

No, not our wedding our anniversary. One year ago today our paperwork was logged in at the Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA). The CCAA is responsible for all adoptions in China, so we became official parents-to-be on this date. This is called our "log in date". LID for short. When we started this journey, the wait to receive the referral for your baby was 6 months. We're now at the 12 month mark with no end in sight. This blog will answer the question of "Have you heard anything?". Wait....I can answer that now. No. We have not heard anything and will not hear anything until our agency calls with our referral. There's really no need to ask us this question everytime you see us. Somedays the wait is harder than others, and if you catch me on a bad wait day, this question can easily push me over the edge. I thought this blog would be an easy way for our family and friends to follow along and see what it's like to be expectant, adoptive parents-to-be. The average couple are only expectant parents-to-be for 9 months; we're above average.
