Could It Be???? Breathe! Breathe!!

To say I was shocked when I read Rumor Queen this morning would be a monumental understatement!!! There is a rumor out there...a teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy, teensy, weensy rumor that March 23rd (and beyond) could be included in this next batch of referrals!!!

Do you know what it does to a gals heart when her potential referral date changes from 5 months to possibly 5 days??? Shaking, praying, praising, jumping, giggling...all while trying not to throw up! ;o)

Only time will tell if this rumor becomes true but what does seem to be a more reliable rumor is that the atmosphere around CCAA appears to be lighter, brighter and much more encouraging than it has been in a long time! Wahoo!!!

Some may know that in December 2008 CCAA announced that the orphanage donation that each family is required to pay has officially changed from $3,000.00US to $5,000.00. Could this increase have allowed more Social Welfare Institutes to prepare babies for International Adoption? Not sure.

What will happen is anyone's guess but for now I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to stay calm!!

PS. Note to self: Get a new exclamation mark for my computer! I think this one got worn out today!!!

Exciting days ahead. Still trusting God for His perfect timing! How cool if this is what he had in store all the way along but was just saving it as a surprise! :o)

Marching Pandas....here we go!!!

Officially Confuzzled!!

Just dropped by Rumor Queen and couldn't believe my eyes!! Rumour has is that there is another batch on the way.... ALREADY??? So far only people with a LID of February 16th seem to have been contacted by their agency and told to prepare for a referral but still, this is so out of the norm that I don't know what to think! The last batch of referrals came out only last week so new ones this week is unbelieveable!

Is it true? If so, what does it mean? Do we dare whisper the words speed-up??? It might be nothing but RQ is pretty cautious about posting things until shes heard from a few sources and, there is a comment from someone who says she either got 'the call' from her agency or was told to prepare for it soon. It's a little hard to interpret what she's said so I guess we'll just have to wait for more clarification tomorrow.

I have a few friends who are really close to referral: Donna (2/17), OziMum (2/22), and PIPO (2/24). So excited for all of them and this news just makes it much better!!

Ooooo...tomorrow will be a fun, fun day!
