So here I am waiting patiently for the mail to come... for our SN ADDENDUM!!! Yuppie, happiness and glee on Friday (and thereafter of course). I contacted our SW via email, but he had no clue, so I called the Centre de Jeunesse and the very nice lady who answered confirmed, with much fanfare, that the addendum was in the mail!

What does this mean? It means that when the next batch of special needs dossiers comes in to our agency, and if there is a little girl with either a cleft lip/palate, minor heart defect (ASD, VSD, PDA), hernia, mild hearing loss, extra digits, then the agency will call us and ask us if we are interested (as if we would say no!). Then, I think, we get the dossier and we can then go and speak to the specialists to make an informed decision. Now, if there is no one in the next batch that matches us, then we continue to wait for the NSN. We are waiting also for the LID (log in date for our file), which theoretically should be today, as our DTC (date to china of our file) was December 27 2006... if everything goes well that is.

On another happy note, we had our MNO (Mother's Night Out) on Saturday waaaaayyyyy out in Dollard, which is about 1 hour drive from the house. It was worth it - I had a great time talking to Doris, Wanda, Sandra, Rosie, Justina and Lisa. I left them (boohoo) after dinner to go and talk to Karen for a bit - poor Karen is STILL waiting for her TA (travel approval) to go and get her daughter, Presley. She is approaching 200 days of waiting, and it is starting to show that she has had just about enough of the wait. I can't blame her.

Stay tuned for the arrival of the mail - I will be dancing up and down when I get it into my hands let me tell you! (Let's just hope it arrives before I have to leave for the nation's capital tomorrow night for the rest of the week... yes I am leaving THE BOYS alone for 3 days - keep your fingers crossed that the house will still be standing when I get back!)
