Still Waiting

We've been waiting for almost a year now and the time has really flown by for me--not so much for JR. We've learned that the process of document review and matching children with parents in China has slowed down considerably since we started this process. At last check CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) has review the papers of families that were submitted as of May 31 2006. So we are inching forward in line. Families who were in line as of November 14 2005 have been matched with children. So let's do a little math, well, maybe not. While we are waiting we've been collecting things that baby will need and traveling and today I am going to make pickles for the first time and if I am feeling really ambitious I will can some carrots as well. JR is off to St. Louis this week and then China for two weeks--just a work trip:(
that is about it for now. Let me know if you have any questions about where we are in the process.
