The Call

We got the call from Linda our facilitator tonight. I was completely unprepared as I was sure I wouldn't hear from her until Friday at the earliest. John is in Montreal so I was out having dinner with the girls. All I know right now is that we have a baby girl currently residing in Hunan province. I have no birth date or anything as the paper work is being translated. Linda said we can expect our package early next week. I really hope she will call back with the birth date tomorrow so I can share a bit more information when we go back to Saint John this weekend. This is very exciting.

Waiting for the call

It seems that matching is done and referral packages are being sent out. There was already 1 family on Rumour Queen that got the package for their little girl born September 5, 2008 and she's a cutey! I'm very nervous right now in anticipation of that first phone call from our facilitator when she will tell us the birth date and the province in which our little girl was born. It's hard to focus on anything at the moment while waiting for that call. We are so lucky to have an LID of 21 Mar 06 as they only made it to 22 Mar 06 this month. No more waiting for us!

Matching

We heard from our facilitator today and it seems that the CCAA is in fact matching as we speak. Once matching is complete we should expect our referral to arrive 1-2 weeks after. It's so exciting and surreal to know that someone is currently matching us with our daughter after all this time.

Preparing to Match

First rumour is out that the CCAA is preparing to match the next batch of babies - that means we are soon going to be matched with our daughter. This is exciting! We're getting closer - all of a sudden it feels like I have so much to do to get ready.
We also got to see the pictures of Maelin - the daugther of the New Brunswick couple in our group who got referred in the last batch and she's adorable.
