Waiting For Godot

In the play, the characters wait (and wait... and wait...) for Godot, who never arrives.  Let me tell you, I can totally relate.  

Word is that the CCAA is only matching through 1/25/06.   We can now  cross five days off the calendar.  But of those days, only a paltry three have actual referrals (the other two days were a weekend and nobody was logged in).  This represents a significant reduction in total number of referrals.  

At this point we're still fairly confident (hmmm, maybe I should rephrase that to "cautiously optimistic")  that we'll get our referral in August.  The CCAA should refer the rest of January, which is 1/26 and 1/27 and nobody was logged in after that due to  Chinese New Year.  So unless something truly unusual happens they should get to 2/06/06).

Of course, this whole process has been truly unusual, so you just never know.

Our agency will receive referrals on Monday and many waiting parents will see the faces of their babies on Monday.   For them, the wait will end and a new life as a family will begin.  I wish them all much joy with their children.  I am thrilled for them.

And truth be told, I'm rather envious as well.  

Back to waiting...
