Dawn of the Dead & the Dec. 8th Cutoff

Happy Halloween! How appropriate that today is Halloween since I feel like an actual zombie these day – can’t sleep, can barely talk, think or type.

No news on my referral for Libby Doodle Doo. Confirmation about the matches should be coming out in the next week – but I still don’t know if I will get one or if I will have to wait until the first week of December. The latest rumors still indicate that I should be included in this upcoming batch (Rumor Gods still predicting a Dec 8th cutoff and my paperwork is dated Dec 7th).

Let’s hope. Last week there was some speculation that the information would arrive from China this week. I believe that timing was overly optimistic. No one has confirmed that the information has been sent from China yet. If it hasn’t left China; it's unlikely that it has a chance to get to the US this week – China sends info via snail mail not electronically. Amazing, huh in the year 2007!

Hi,
I honestly don't know how I ended up on your site. I was in the single room of the forum section of RQ and kept following links and ended here...for which I am very thankful.
I am also single (closer to 50 than 40) and came home with my daughter Isabel on 2/1/07. She is from Jiangxi and is turning two in December.
The requirement changes for China came one week after my referral last December which killed my dream of adopting a sister for Isabel from China.
This past month I have been somewhat obsessed with the thought of adopting from Vietnam. Some of your posts really resonated with me. I wonder how I could swing it at my age. But then, I am so happy about being a mom at this age and really feel in my heart that there will be another.
I see that your LID is the 7th. I am so excited for you. You may have your daughter's photo within the next two days. How awesome is that?!?!
I wish you well and look forward to seeing what your littlest chick looks like.
Ciao,
Laureen
