The China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) sends out referrals for babies to waiting families about once a month. Referral days are always nice. Lots of happy families, lots of cute babies, and a little bit closer to our own little one.
Today, the CCAA sent referrals for families that were logged in on the waiting list through September 8, 2005. That means the current wait is now around 15 months plus about 2 months to travel.
We leave you with a traditional Chinese proverb,
"You cannot clap with one hand."
(my guess is this sounds more eloquent in Chinese, but it gets the point across)
So, Rejoice & Happy Referral Day! (one of the only festive occasions that happens every month!)

we're baaaaack! [6 weeks in review]
So, we haven't been keeping up with this (as I suspected), but will be making a huge effort to remedy that. However, we do have some (what I feel) are valid excuses, but you can be the judge.
October [week 2] - JK travels to Hawaii for work/ CB (on hiatus from office) working full-time on exhibition project to open at end of October
October [week 3] - JK travels to Hawaii for work (again) and just misses the earthquake by one day/ CB continues work day and night, 24/7 on exhibition project.
October [week 4] - JK travels to Colorado Springs for work and gets stranded in the "Blizzard of 2006" for two extra days/ CB still working day and night, 24/7 finishes preparations for exhibition project.
November [week 1] - CB's exhibition opens - A Great Success!/ CB goes back to work and immediately begins a new quick competition for a project in Taiwan/ JK travels to Hawaii (yes, again - that makes 3 red-eyes in 1 month - a new record!)/ Upon return following day, JK tumbles down stairs outside office on her way to travel in Northern Cali - sprains hand/ wrist (RIGHT HAND - nice job)
November [week 2] - CB travels to Taiwan/ JK learns how to put her hair up as well as do many other tasks with her LEFT HAND (not cool).
And that brings us up-to-date. We apologize to all of you whom we have not been keeping up with lately - we were definitely flying under the radar. But, we are regrouping and have a long list of "things to do" to get us back on track.
Coming Soon!
1. Attempt to fix the sidebar links!
2. Figure out how to link photo slideshow like Laura V. B.
3. Oh yeah, write more posts. . .
For now, we leave you with a few photos, "in progress" shots of CB's exhibition piece "en assemblage" in our living room and up in the loft:
THIS IS INSIDE OUR HOUSE PEOPLE!!
and the members of the Hylomorphic exhibit team collaborative at the opening:
