Chinese New Year Celebration Performance at the Oregon Convention Center.
These are not even good photos but I wanted everyone to share in the fun we had on Sunday. I can't even wait to post these photos.....The first photo is of when we brought Simones Chinese Class out on Stage. (2 classes together)
The plan was for me and a couple of Mom's to stay on stage just in case......Well Simone did JUST FINE! We were so proud of her and we both could not stop grinning ear to ear. You can slightly see me in the photo above. I could of moved to the back of the stage and SImone would of been fine but I stayed close just in case.

Here we are pointing out where Daddy is!!!

When Love Takes you In By Steven Curtis Chapman

I posted this on Sophies Blog because it is one of my favorite songs and it reminds us to be thankful for what we have and what we have been through.

China Updates their website this afternoon.

The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office before March 22, 2006. (What this means for us is that they are ALMOST to our Dossier, we were LID on May 30th 2006. It is so good to see them finally update this sentence on their web site because it has been a couple of months since they changed this portion!! Only two months away before we are in the review room!!!! Progress!!)

The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office before October 13, 2005.
What this means for us is that they are getting moving and getting closer to handing out our referral!!! Just not close enough.
