OK...the referrals have arrived at CCAI today. They said that the calls are going to go out tomorrow! I will probably go home right after work tomorrow and not go to class. It's game day tomorrow for the kids so not too much is happening.
We are going to see our Grace for the very first time tomorrow! It's so hard to comprehend. I can hardly concentrate right now.

Anticipation !
Anticipation...that's the title of the week!
Too many rumors...not enough facts. We are hoping for a Wednesday call from our adoption agency but they are saying that nothing has been mailed to them yet...that they know of. The rumor web site is saying the same thing.
We have almost made it through the weekend keeping busy with cleaning the house and such but now with the first week of March starting, I can feel myself getting more excited and nervous.
This is a photo of Phuong on Valentines day with her flowers. The pink flower in the middle is for Grace.

The cut off is Jan. 4th!!
Ok...so the latest rumor is that the next cut off is going to be Jan. 4th. This means that we are sure to be in the next referral batch.
I can't believe it's actually going to happen. Sometime next week we will see the face of our daughter!
Oh my goodness...we're going to be parents! I'm going to be a dad!!!!!!!
CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT :)

2 MORE WEEKS?
Ok...it's getting really exciting now. We predict that in just 2 weeks we could be getting photos and information about Grace!
I can barely contain my self!
Today, on one of the Yahoo Groups we belong to, they posted a "Referral Call Sheet."
For those of you who don't know, this is a kind of checklist you keep in front of you when CCAI (the adoption agency) calls you with your child's information. It is so great, I am going to print some up and put one next to each of the phones in the house so that we are ready no matter what room we are in.
To get an idea what this will be like, here is a link to someone in our Yahoo group who got the call and recorded it.
Of course I don't think I will be this calm.

Check our blog often as rumors will start flowing in next week.
God Bless you all!

Great Poem
Here's a great poem my wife found by Paul W. Smith.
I just added some art to dress it up a bit.

DECEMBER 27th!
OK...I believe it to be true that the cut off for February is Dec. 27th. This means that a March referral is more then likely...more then possible!
We have declared February to be "clean up" month. Starting from the top floor we are cleaning out the closets, etc. of things we don't need and giving the house a good scrub down before March.
March will be "preparation month." This will be the time to make travel arrangements, prepare documents, gather and pack, etc.
All before April which will be "Gracie month." This is when we would expect to travel to China to bring home our little girl: HOW EXCITING! :)

This is the Year...
Ok...so it's a new year...this is the year! This is the year we will welcome Grace into our home forever.
CCAA has cleared through 12/19/05 for January. We could be getting our referral (pictures of our Grace) by March and travel to China April.
What a wonderful Easter gift! At the time of the year when new life is celebrated, I can not think of a better time to welcome Grace home.
As more information comes our way we will be posting more...and more...and more...
