Adoption Status Update

The CCAA has "finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with their office before November 7, 2005." They were only able to match 6 days worth of dossiers this past month. Everyone was hoping that they would match more days of applications. Still, because November is estimated to be a month in which the CCAA received A LOT of applications, we're thankful that they matched that many.

The CCAA hasn't updated the "finished the review of the adoption application documents" section of their web page; it still states they've "finished the review of application documents registered [logged in] with their office before March 31, 2006." Hopefully soon our application will be in (and out of!) the review room! It would be nice if our application was reviewed before more of our paperwork (immigration paperwork, fingerprinting checks) expires and needs renewal.

We've recently received our renewed homestudy; the homestudy is a document that, in Virginia, requires a yearly renewal and serves as the adoption agency's endorsement that we are mentally, physically, financially, etc. fit to be parents. No jokes about the mental aspect, please. (giggle, giggle)
