So Sad But Thankfully Rejoicing

This past Wednesday, on Valentine's Day, my dear mother-in-law Joy, died to this world and went to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. She had been ill for the last couple of years, but the last year had really been tough on her. She died peacefully with my husband at her side.
Our family is in mourning for this remarkable woman, that includes her husband, 3 children, 8 grand-children and 6 great-grand-children! We mourn that we have lost her, but we are joyful as we also know that she is in heaven with our Lord for all eternity. Although Joy had suffered greatly, you could always count on her for a sweet smile and a kind word. She is greatly missed.
Love you Mom,
Sue

Are We Still In Or Are We Out??????????

Note above, that the CCAA has finished the review of dossiers logged in before March 22, 2006.
What is our log in date............ MARCH 22, 2006!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, the question remains.....Is our dossier still being reviewed by the CCAA, or are we out of review????????????????????

Well, if you read the second paragraph, "The CCAA has finished the placement of children whose adoption documents (dossiers) were registered with our office before October, 13, 2005"

What this means is that families with LID's of

up to and including!!!! October 13, 2005 have received their referrals.
So.......based upon that, one might infer that March 22, 2006 is included in those dossiers that have been reviewed by the CCAA.
What does it mean to us to be out of the review room????? We can't describe how happy that makes us, as the next step is the matching room. It means that there were no questions about our dossier, and we're that much closer to meeting Renee (even if it may be months away).
Congratulations to all the families who have just received their referrals. We are so happy for you.
Last but definitely not least!! our friends from church, Dave and Barbara, are in China NOW!!
to meet their daughter Maya, they should see her for the first time on Monday the 5th of Februarly, only 2 days away!!!!!! Our prayers and good wishes are with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks and Praise To God!!
