November 2006 Update
In November Zoe went to her very first football game where she
ate football popcorn, football peanuts, and drank football
water. It was so fun! She especially enjoyed the Seminole cry
and cheering when the team scored touchdowns. Go Seminoles!!!
We visited Susan’s family in Columbus, GA for Thanksgiving. It
was wonderful catching up with Zoe’s Great-Gran, Granmommy,
Grandaddy, Great Aunts, Uncles, and many cousins. Zoe was
especially excited to meet her brand new cousin, the lovely
red-headed Anna Claire. She liked giving the baby kisses and
even had the chance to hold her. She’s working on her big sister
skills where she’ll be asked to hold and smooch on little Lexi
when she FINALLY comes home.
We actually have news to report on the adoption front. We were
logged into China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) on February
17, 2006. For most of this month February has been “in the
review room.” This means that our dossier, along with all the
other dossiers that were logged in this past February, is under
close scrutiny at the moment. CCAA checks, and double-checks, to
be sure prospective adoptive families meet their requirements
before they can be approved to adopt a beautiful child from
China. We are waiting and checking CCAA’s website daily to see
when February has been cleared. What happens next?
Unfortunately, we wait yet again. But at least, once we’ve
cleared the review room, we know we have been approved and can
breathe a sigh of relief. |
