Mark and I are so happy tonight!
The rumors all day today was that the CCAA (Chinese Governing agent of Adoptions) had cutoff the month of referrals at only one more week, 4/20. As a reminder, we are Log in date of 4/22. Very sad day, hurt feelings, feelings of craziness, etc... I was very busy at work, so didn't think A LOT about it and was fairly numb. Mark took it all in stride, and was his usual calm dude self!
My mom checked the websites all day long. At 8:13PM she checked the CCAA Website and saw that the rumors are indeed wrong and that we have "made the cut". I've never felt better (well maybe when Austin was born healthy).
We are told by our agency that they should receive them Tuesday (they are closed Monday for the holiday), and get the "call" Wednesday.
All that being said....my first thought was being overjoyed for US. My second thought was for our good friends the Thayers who are logged in on 4/27 and didn't make the cut. We were really hoping to travel with them, as we've been trudging through this adoption process together!!! Soon, though, they will have their referral and we will have our girls home to play together.

Oh god Stacey I can't believe I'm finally hearing good news!!!!! I cannot wait to hear about your referral on Wednesday. But I'm also heartbroken for Rhonda. I feel like a schizo person, overjoyed one second and crying the next. :-) Love to you both.
Stacey,
I am so excited for you and can't wait to see Ryleigh's picture. We will be very close behind unless the CCAA's next cut off is families with LIDs of 4/27, but before 10:32 a.m.! I will be waiting for your email on Wednesday. Congrats!
Stacey . . . I've been on pins & needles for you all day! Yippee for the info on the CCAA website! So glad for you!
Some day they'll actually get to our late May LID's - but I'm not giving any predictions on when! :)
Can't wait to see pics and here all the info!
Blessings!

We are so happy for your family and are looking forward to a grand announcement on Wednesday. It seems like so long since we met you at Rod and Mary-Mia's Halloween get-together and you had just found out that you weren't in that batch. I hope your travel arrangements follow shortly after the referral.
