Bringing Kennedy Home

Feelings, thoughts and other tidbits along the way to adopting our daughter from China.

We are sooooooooooo next!

Oh my good gracious! The CCAA did up to (and including) August 25(that's 16 days worth of files)! I can hardly stand it. When I checked the computer this morning, like I have been every morning for the last week, I was shocked to see that they completed the 25th. That means 26th...27th....28th....29th....30th....31st! They only need to do 6 days at the end of November and they'll be including us. Ofcourse, we want them to go much farther...and at least include September 5th. My dear friend Shea from Manitoba is in my travel group but has a LID (as do a few others) of September 5th, and we want very badly to keep our group together, so fingers crossed for that.

Okay, someone tell me how I'm going to concentrate at work today? I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat lately, wonder why? And report cards? Well, let's just say I better hunker down for the next couple of weeks.

Have a great day everyone! I know I will!
P.S. Marvin shrieked in the shower when I told him the August 25 cut-off! He's so excited!

    Wow, you guys are soooo close now. Braeden made a ladybug suncatcher for the kitchen window, so every time we look out that window, a little prayer is said that Kennedy will be home in PEI soon. Take care, and try to stay sane for the next few weeks!
    Lots of love

    Hi Marvin and Caroyln,
    I am so thrilled for you! This is really exciting news. You will have butterflies in your stomach every day now until the moment you finally hold Kennedy in your arms. And you will probably not get much sleep from now until you travel. But this is all good as your mind and heart are filled with so much emotion your body doesn't know how to react! Really, we are so happy for you! We will keep you both and Kennedy in our prayers!!!

    I am so excited they referred to the 25th. I'm really hoping we'll be travelling together! It's great to share this excitement with others. It's been a long haul, but I can't believe we're actually saying we're next. It's about time!!!
