We are well past one month into our wait. All of the paperwork, pencil pushing, FedExing, fingerprinting, and jumping through whatever hoops we were asked, seems easy compared to the waiting. At least when we were busy doing paperwork, we had no time to contemplate our thoughts, both fearful and joyous.
Unfortunately, what we thought was going to be a 6-8 month wait, looks like it could stretch into an 8-10 month wait, if not longer. There has been a great surge of dossiers submitted to China for adoption in the past months. Our adoption agency alone, submitted 645 dossiers to the CCAA in 2005. We are still confident, however, that 2006 will bring us the newest member of the Winemiller family.
We hope you had a very merry Christmas and we wish you a most blessed 2006.
