It Looks Like We Will Be Dropping Out of The Journey
Got an email from our sorry agency today.......they never contact us for ANYTHING but seemed more than happy to share the news that CCAA will NOT be doing any matching, referrals, travel approvals, NOTHING until probably September 2009. So......we have had enough. There will be no Rebekah for us I guess. NO BABIES at all for us.

Hi Susan and Doug
I am sorry that the wait has got you all down. I know the wait is never ending. I just wonder if you just keep in the China situation and see what happens. I wouldn't make any rash decisions and I am not saying this is rash.
I remember feeling this way many times and yes my wait wasn't as long as yours however it has been 21 years of Ivf, fertility treatments and adoption waiting and in the end with 3 children and no straight forward adoptions I wouldn't be with out my darlings. And even still there are days when it isn't easy.
Know you are in our thoughts.

Don't leave that precious little girl behind. She needs you.
Praying for you and Doug.
Huggins coming your way.
Please Susan don't quit now, don't give up, Pleassseeee!
Love, Kristy
Hi Susan ,I have not written to you before but I do keep up with your journey.I am Nannie to Mia Grace united with her forever family August 2007. Please do not give up. I sit here day after day wishing I was not too old to bring a little one from China to my home forever,but I am so I pray and pray for those who can.I even want to go on a mission trip either this summer or next to China just to hold and feed these little ones to show then the Love and Compassion of our Lord.I have also been praying for you and your husband i can not imagine what you are going through or have been through but you are going through it not staying there, but going through to the other side.I pray your spirit be renewed and your courage rise and you plow through!!
Prayers and Blessings Sue Lucas
Susan,
Although I normally do not post on blogs, I do follow our group e-mails and wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your discouragement and that I know exactly how you feel.
We are logged in 4/25/06. I have handled the wait far better than my husband Eddie. We, too, have been so discouraged and have, more than once, considered ending the adoption.
I wish I could say that your news is inaccurate. I will say that our agency (which is a large China-only agency) did send us an official e-mail this week. No date was mentioned. They told us that the CCAA was monitoring the health crisis on a day-by-day basis and will resume sending referrals as soon as they can. I believe that we will still see our babies this year.
Our social worker who did our home study contacted us this week and asked if we would be interested in a domestic adoption. We didn't realize how many young, healthy kids are available through our local DHS. We have decided to do this when we return from China. If the wait gets too long, we are going to call her and let her know to get that ball rolling. :)
Until then, please know that you aren't alone in your pain and your doubts. I hope that you do decide to wait for your daughter. A very wise and dear friend of mine who has adopted from China 3 times told me something once when I complained about the wait...and it really made me think... she said, "Christie, it's just not right that the children should have to wait longer than we do." She's right. Keep the faith!
Hugs to you and Doug,

I can't imagine your discourgement and grief at this point. But, it seems you have come so far not to keep the faith. I hope you and your husband take lots of time to really think about this before you make a final decision. I hope that you do have some peace when you make that decision one way or the other. Your in my thoughts, here is a big hug from Texas!
I check in your blog routinely but have rarely posted. I can't even imagine how difficult this journey has been for you. Our wait was 24 months but certainly nothing compared to what you are expereincing. YOu are sooo close though and everyday brings you closer to that little girl who so needs to have a mommy. Time will pass everyday. It will pass if you are in the que or if you are not. You are almost at the front of the line. Don't give up on giving your special little girl the best mommy! It will be worth it.
