Rumor Rollercoaster!

I hate this rumor rollercoaster! I love rollercoasters in general, but this rumor one I seriously dislike! I'm trying not to get sucked onto the ride this month, but I have to admit, i'm in the line up...albeit....at the back of the line!

RQ is stating:
"A second European Agency is now saying “with almost complete certainty” that some of December will be in this batch.
This is a very reliable agency and they have my complete attention with this one.
They basically say that they are positive that the 24th is in, and can say “with almost complete certainty” that some of December will be in this batch.
This one gets an R3½"

So, being at the end of the line I can't really see the rollercoaster yet...will it be a slow leisurely ride or will it be full of loops, turns and stomach dropping heights? Stay tuned....I'll post more when I hear anything else.

Happy Long Weekend!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since I last posted....sorry :o(

Let's see....what's been going on ....work....work....hmmm....work again...! :o) Last weekend I had my two nieces Nikki & Julie, ages 5 and 7, for a sleepover - we had a great time. I took them out to rent a couple of movies and then we came home and popped some popcorn and watched a movie, after the movie I had sparklers for them to light outside and then it was bed time. The next day we watched movie #2 and we were hoping to get out on the boat but it was too windy so we decided to forgo that idea. It was a low key weekend but we still had fun!

My Mom is on a trip of a lifetime - she left on August 11th for BC for 2 weeks with her best friend. They are staying with her best friends daughter....and let me tell you...she is getting spoiled rotten! I'm afraid she won't want to come back home...ha ha ha! She called me on Monday night to say that she got surprised with tickets to Las Vegas for the next few days - and for my Mom who loves the slot machines...this was a dream come true! She went to see Celine Dion on Wednesday night and then last night was going to a circus show...not sure which one. She'll be flying back this weekend to BC. I'm so happy for her as I'm sure she is having a blast! Mom, if you are reading this, I miss you, Love you and can't wait to see you next week! Happy Birthday!

This weekend we aren't up to much, I want to go over and visit my new niece Reece and get some baby snuggling time in....We saw her last night for my other nieces Birthday...Happy Birthday Isabel! but unfortunately you know how that goes...you've got to share the baby snuggles, so I'm going to be selfish and visit and hopefully I won't have to share! ha ha ha!

Well, that's about it - not much news about the adoption....early rumors are CCAA will get to Nov 29th...which I so hope as friends of ours (Scott & Jen) are logged in Nov 29th and I would love to see them get their referral! If this is the cut off then there would just be 6 days to our LID and then we could possibly be next....WOW! How exciting is that...and scary since we haven't even started her nursery yet.....I know, I know...but there's still some time left...albeit, not much! I'll post again when I have more news to share.

Take care,
Tracy

I'm a new aunt....again!

I've got a new little niece, named Reece, she was born on Saturday August 11th. She's so tiny and so beautiful. Mommy and baby are doing excellently and Daddy is doing great too! This is my Husbands youngest brother and it's their first child.

I'm so happy and excited for them, this is my 6th niece. I've got 6 nieces and 2 nephews.....next will be our baby girl! YEAH! I'm so excited to think we are FINALLY next. Since we started on the journey to expand our family I've had my 8 nieces and nephews born......so that just goes to show how long we've been waiting for our baby to arrive. I'm sorry I don't have a picture, we forgot our camera last night when we visited and Chris was away with our camera on Saturday.

Matching Room

I came across a picture of what the matching room actually looks like at CCAA where our dossier is. I thought I would post it for those who are curious. Hopefully our dossier is close to the top of the pile to get matched!


As it stands my guess for our referral is October or November of this year and hopefully travel in mid November to December. Time will tell though, we'll see how they do at the next batch.

CCAA Update! 7 down.....14 to go

CCAA have updated their website to say that referrals have been completed up to November 21st, 2005....so that is 7 days completed and leaves us 14 days left to get to our referral! YEAH!

Congratulations to all the families receiving referrals this month!

.....We have contact.....!

You know the time is FINALLY nearing when you hear from your agency asking for your immigration document # from your application to sponser your daughter....(and no girls...you know who you are....lol...we don't have it yet, our paper work is going out tomorrow.......it's all signed, sealed and on the table ready to be delivered!)

....we got an email today from our agency saying...and I quote...."Since time to a referral is getting short...." WOW...how exciting is that! I know we are likely still a couple months away from referral but I'm starting to see the glare that little pot is making at the end of the rainbow! I'm so excited....and nervous....and let's face it....scared to death.....I'm FINALLY going to be a Mommy! (...wipe tears away here...).

Well, that's all I had to share with you tonight, hoping to hear more news by end of week about the referral cutoff this month....rumor is that the stork is flying....come on referrals!
