We Are In The Matching Room !!!!!

It's official. We are in the matching room. I just visited the CCAA website and this is the news that greeted me.

What does this mean, you ask. It means that somewhere in China our paperwork has officially been reviewed and now has moved to the "Matching Room". They are going to be looking at our file and matching us with our little girl.

This also means they have given out referrals to anyone that had their paperwork sent in by June 28, 2005. Four more months left.

Oh my God. I am so excited right now. It is going to happen. It is actually going to happen.

Update to my long wait

I know it has been a very long time since i posted, but there is just nothing going on in the adoption right except waiting.

Dave and I traveled to Washington DC for Memorial Day weekend. What a great trip. We saw so much and did so much. I will post pictures later. Unfortunately, I dropped my digital camara and can't seem to turn it on now. So i will have to resort to the old fashioned pictures that Dave took. As soon as we get them back i will post.

I wanted to share this beautiful poem i found on another board. This sums up my feelings right now.

Somewhere far across the sea
Waits a little heart for me
Amazing though how it may seem
We both are sharing the same dream
I long to tuck you in at night
And hold your tiny hand so tight
To kiss your tears and keep you near
To chase away your every fear
No one knows the tears I've cried
The emptiness I've felt inside
Only God knew what to do
A red thread tied from me to you
And now my love it's almost time
When I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Soon forever-never to part
My child I bore inside my heart

I don't know the author's name, but i give her all the credit she deserves, because that is a beautiful sentiment.

More later.
