Waiting for the Phone to Ring!
CCAI started making calls at 12:00 EST. So far I have seen 4 referrals posted to the CCAI June DTC Yahoo! Group. I'm sittng here next to the phone waiting for it to ring.
Is this like the pot of water that won't boil if you stare at it? :-)

Next Week = Match
It looks like we will be receiving our match next week. CCAI is telling us that we should get "the call" on Tuesday and the FedEx package on Wednesday. Pretty cool, huh?

Days Away
On October 20th, 2003 I made the first post to this adoption blog. Now, we are just days away from our match/referral. Our agency, CCAI, is telling us that we should receive our match during the first 2 weeks of December.
Basically, we will receive a package in the mail that has photos of the baby that we have been matched with. It might contain a minimal amount of medical information. And perhaps some other data regarding her orphanage, what she is like, name, age, etc... We will need to review the information, sign the paperwork stating that we accept the match, and get it back to CCAI within 48 hours.
It's been a long journey. And we haven't reached the end yet. But we are getting close...

We Are Next!
The May referrals came in. That means the June referrals are next. And our DTC date is 06/18/04.
My guess is that sometime around the middle of December we will get our match/referral. That's when we receive information on our baby. We should get photos, name, age, weight, location, etc... Then, we start working on the travel plans.
The May group is telling me that they should travel in 6 to 9 weeks. That's longer than I expected. I thought you traveled in 4 to 6 weeks from match. But I guess not. If that is the case, then we will probably travel to China in February. I need to get more info on the travel time.

DTC - 6.18.04
It's true! We officially have a DTC date! We knew that we would have a June DTC date, but we only recently received the official notice of the exact date.
DTC - June 18, 2004
For those that don't know, DTC means Dossier to China. It's the official date that your dossier is logged in at China.
If you have a DTC date (current adoption or past adoptions) post a comment and let us know!

Wait Time?
Does anyone have any news regarding the current wait time (from DTC to Match)?
