Exciting news from WACAP's monthly update!

We received our monthly update from WACAP a couple of days ago. The contents of the update were pretty exciting!

For starters, it seems like the longest it has taken any family to be matched with a waiting child, once on the waiting list, has been one month! That means that once our dossier is logged in, and we are officially "waiting" it shouldn't take too terribly long before we have a match. Hopefully I didn't jinx us by saying that!

Also, the next news break was that it is taking families 8-16 weeks for families to travel once accepting a child. So, if you haven't been following along...next week we hope for our dossier to go out, be logged within a couple of weeks, and then be matched HOPEFULLY sometime in May or June. If we are traveling 8-16 weeks after accepting our match, then we could technically be in China by August. THAT'S CRAZY! Of course, this is with using the most minimum amount of waiting...but so far that's been our experience. Fingers crossed everyone!

Finally, it looks like out of all of the families that accepted or brought home children this past month, there were several that would have fit our main preference of gender and age. So, it's hopeful that we will have the perfect match. The only thing I don't like about this part of their update is that they don't indicate which children were from the healthy infant program or the waiting child program. Bummer! I'm going to imagine the 9 month of little girl was from the waiting child program though.

Here's hoping our 1-800A is authenticated and back at WACAP by Monday! No whammy, no whammy, no whammy...

Okay, more updates later!
