A couple of you guys have ask if I have heard anything.
So here is an update.
Two weeks tomorrow( or today, depending on when this is read) since
we submitted our letter to an agency for review.
We are asking the CCAA to consider us as parents for a Special Needs sibling group.
Strange, I know.
I think that is what is making the wait so much harder.
We have a few strikes against us: *CCAA isn't crazy about large families.
*Children are not on any listing.
We also have a few things going for us: *A great agency willing to help.
*Unlimited medical resources. *We are experienced parents and
these kids will be toddlers.
So this is where we are.
Letter sent for"Review by the facilitator" is what I was told, but I find
it extremely hard to believe that it would take someone two weeks
to read a letter.
This makes me wonder: Did she review the letter and thought it was fine,
and sent it to the CCAA? Is the facilitator gathering information about
the children first, and then sends the letter to the CCAA? Or has she just been
really, really busy and hasn't had time to review the letter, and has not done
anything with it?
I have absolutely no idea.
Anyway, it has been two weeks, and to say that I am getting discouraged would
be putting it mildly.
Not so much that things may not turn out the way I had hoped, but that
I feel like I'm in limbo.
I have a dossier sitting here, waiting to be translated and logged in, and
nothing to do with it.
I hate that I have no news. I know that ya'll are praying for us, and I can not
tell you how much we appreciate it.
Maybe we will know something later in the week.
I hope so.
Peace.
I hate being in limbo too! You know I am praying for you sister friend!
ReplyDeletelove ya!
WOW!!!! that is incredible stuff! i have seen another blog where the family adopted two SN todddlers who i believe were bio siblings. again, WOW! i sure hope you hear something soon. not knowing is such a beast. i even look at magazines from the back to the front because i have to know what is at the end.
ReplyDeletea...you are such a great mama!!!
Unknowing and limbo sucks! And it is totally out of your hands which makes it worse!! If the had given you something to do then you would be working away on it!
ReplyDeleteAND WOW on your NEWS!! I pray that the lord will give you peace!
I hope you hear something soon. I guess I would feel encouraged that there wasn't a QUICK NO... right?? At least it's 2 weeks that they might be considering it. Or better yet maybe they have already said yes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am praying. Love ya girlfriend.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. None of us do that well. Keep trusting in the God who is above time.
ReplyDeletebig stuff!
ReplyDeleteHe knows the plans He has for y'all : ))
That is SO exciting! I cannot wait to see how it all unfolds. I am praying, praying!!
ReplyDeleteLiving in limbo is the worst though....we've been doing it for awhile in other areas in our life. It is truly difficult- even if you know it is where you are supposed to be at the moment!
I agree with Rebecca- no news is good news! Maybe they are really considering it!
wow! that is incredible! i'm very excited to hear more about the kiddos...waiting for something like this must be excrutiating. sort of like waiting for this silly INS approval. goodness gracious, it's been 2 months already!
ReplyDeletekeep us posted!
oh man - I'm sorry you have no news yet. It's all so exciting and so hard to wait.
ReplyDeleteWell we will wait together.

Ah-ha... so this is what you've been up to. I'm sending some prayers-juju-karma-best wishes all your way! Being in limbo is my worst nightmare; but in the same breath I am soo excited for you. From the past 2 years of staring at the China boards... I've noticed w/ CCAA... no news is usually good news. Fingerscrossed, pinkie toes and eyeballs! I've been a little ansy lately but you've given me some really good news and something to focus on a being cheering for! =0) C'mon CCAA... bring some excellent news over this way! Sara
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Andrea! I can feel your pain, I am sure it is getting HARD to keep on waiting!
ReplyDeleteBut know that His timing is perfect, all the time :)
It has been taking longer to hear anything lately. It could be a good thing. Hope you hear soon.
ReplyDeleteHey, no news is good news....though it's hard waiting. Being a new reader to your blog, it was nice to get some info as to where you are in your adoption journey. Wow, siblings! I'll be praying you hear some good news quickly;-). Hang in there.
