Babies!!!

RumorQueen — Tue, 22 May 2012 10:23:50 +0000

Congrats to those who will soon see their child’s face for the first time! It’s looking like the cut-off is the 11th or 12th, but I don’t see reports of the CCCWA’s internal box changing yet. If you are expecting a referral in this batch, or if you are in another program and would like [...]

Cut-off Rumor

RumorQueen — Mon, 21 May 2012 16:33:31 +0000

A rumor of a rumor that the cut-off is the 8th. I don’t see this one at any of my usual haunts though, so I can’t give it an R rating. The least positive Projection was for the 11th.

Cut-off, SN List — not much out there

RumorQueen — Mon, 21 May 2012 11:27:18 +0000

I see nothing this morning. No whispers, no rumors, not even any speculation of a cut-off date. There is speculation the shared list may come out tonight, but I haven’t seen what look like actual rumors, though.

No Rumors, and Piggy Paint

RumorQueen — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:14:11 +0000

I don’t see any rumors. I finally tried some of the Piggy Paint and I’m not a fan of it for me. However, it works great on the girls’ nails. It stays on about four days, not quite a week, but much longer than the other water based polish I’ve tried. It lasts a little longer [...]

An agency says the CCCWA is organizing paperwork, preparing to begin the matching process.

No Rumors

RumorQueen — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:55:02 +0000

Right now, I don’t see any rumors, but it’s early. I’m leaving the house before six, and not sure how much time I’ll have online today. If someone else sees a rumor, please share it in the comments, and send the details to me.

We’re in the window, and NSN TA’s

NSN TA’s from the most recent referral batch have begun to arrive. Congrats to those families who are so much closer to finally buying those plane tickets! From the most recent When post, the soonest we’d expect to see referrals this month would be yesterday, the latest would be Monday, May 28, and the most [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

RumorQueen — Sun, 13 May 2012 11:41:50 +0000

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms and the waiting moms. Sit back, relax, and let your kids and spouse show you how special you are. I know I say this every year, but if you’re still waiting then my advice remains that you should spend the day doing things you won’t be able [...]

When to bring it up

RumorQueen — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:03:03 +0000

Yesterday we talked about how it’s important for us to bring up adoption topics, so our kids know we’re comfortable with the conversation, and they can feel comfortable bringing it up. I mentioned finding balance — not bringing it up so much it’s like picking a scab just to watch it bleed, but also not [...]
