One Step Closer

The C.C.A.A. web site has announced that they have finished reviewing dossier's that were logged in up till and before December 31 2005. Our dossier was logged in at the C.C.A.A. on March 14 2006. So we only have two and a half more months of reviews to go before they reach our dossier. I know that it doesn't sound very excitng but for us every little bit closer we get the shorter amount of time we have to wait to get our daughter.

While We Wait

While we've been waiting for any kind of progress on the adoption front we thought that we would sign up to the Christian Children's Foundation. We got the child's picture on Friday in the mail. We are now the proud sponsors of a little girl by the name of Hellen Yesenia Hernandez Zamora. She is from Nicaragua. She is seven years old and in grade three. She likes drawing colouring and singing. Through our sponsorship Helen will have the opportunity to continue her education and get proper nutrition and will also help her entire family. Her dad is a brick layer and her mom is a sales clerk. Hellen also has a brother. We plan on starting to write her letters to learn more about her and her family. We hope with our sponsorship we can help better her families life.

We thought that we would add a couple pictures to our blog to give our family members and friends an idea of the volume of dossiers that are sent to China. One picture is a wall of dossiers and the other picture is of the matching room in China at the CCAA. This is where they match each individual dossier with a childs folder. Hopefully our dossier will make it there soon.
