Continuing on.........

Well, as I was excited in October, I am somewhat stalled again here in February. They are through August 21st in the review room, so only 10 more days BEFORE our LID of 9/1............however, it was supposed to be through 8/27 this month since there were "no referrals" for the 19th-27th.........ho hum!

As long as they get through 8/29 next month, I truly believe that we will finally see our child's face in April!!!! What a GREAT Easter gift!!!!

As far as travel though, as one always asks..............It's been said that we will have to wait another 12 weeks after referral to travel under my new I-800 documents -- since the I-600a's have all now expired.........:( Someone else posted that they read somewhere that travel could take up to FIVE (5) months!!!!

I want him/her home before September!!!!! YIKES!!!!!


Another HUMONGOUS change that has come about is that in December we changed our request from "either" to that of a boy up to 2 years old............so we are eagerly awaiting to see not just how young they will refer us, but also what gender they will refer us as well!!! We have a boy's first name picked out, but we won't reveal that until we get a referral...........
As far as Hannah Mei Yi...........we have been fully blessed through "her" adoption............and it's a wonderful name. I will never forget the "process" of adopting our "Chinese daughter"..........even if SHE never comes.......:)
