WAITING!!

We are expecting our agency to receive referrals late today. They will translate the information and then contact us with Allie's Chinese name, DOB, measurements and where she is located. Then they will overnight her picture to us. We can expect to hear something Monday or Tuesday!!! My birthday is Sunday along with fathers day and I can't think of a more perfect gift for the both of us. We are on cloud nine and can't wait to meet our baby girl.

WE HAVE BEEN MATCHED!! NOW WHEN WILL WE HEAR SOMETHING!!

We have learned that we have indeed been matched with a baby. The question now is when will we receive our call letting us know who she is???!!!! I told the boys yesterday the news and they were super excited. As soon as we receive our information we will pass it along.

Awesome beach trip!!

We had a wonderful time with our family hanging out at the beach! Dalton and Brian had their first "hooters" visit and didn't seem impressed. Personally I think they were hiding their excitment/embarressment. We fished on the pier and Brian caught his share of Pin fish and Todd and the guys slayed the Blue fish. I was able to get in a little R&R in the sun. Ok ok now for baby news....rumor has it that we may not hear anything for another 2 weeks!!! This is truly torture. As soon as we here something we will pass it along.

Headed to the Beach!!

Just a little vacation before the big trip! We heard a rumor this morning that matching may be complete for the rest of March families. Hopefully this week we will receive our call and finally meet Miss Allie Grace!!

HOW OLD WILL OUR BABY BE??

To my friends and family who are curious,
When we submitted our application we requested a baby girl 0-12 months or as young as possible. China considers "infants" 0-24 months old. That being said we could receive a referral for a baby from 6-24 months old. It is very rare that babies are under six months old. We just know that which ever baby was selected for us we will love her no matter what her age is. So, hang on a little longer and you will know what size to start looking for...(That goes out to my mom specifically)ha ha. Our agency posted (CCAI) that they expect to hear something about the next group of matches in a week or two!!

CUT OFF MARCH 14TH WE ARE NEXT!!!!!!!

It's official,the cut off for May is March 14th so we will be up next for our referral! There is a rumor that another group of babies will be mailed out in 2 weeks! We shall see.

Damn Pigs!

Well it looks as if we have yet another hurdle to get through. China is restricting adoptive parents into the country and it seems as if referrals are being held up as well!! Typical of my luck.
