At long last, here's another video from our beautiful trip to Nantucket in July 2009.

Dr. Jordan Goes to Nantucket
Recently we had the pleasure of spending a week in beautiful Nantucket with our friend, Dr. Ruth Jordan.
But all was not seashells and lollipops on "yesterday's island." Check out this real and true documentary.

And now a word from Danny.
Danny told a long long (long) story on Father's Day.
Here it is. Get comfortable.

Yes, it's been a long time...
Not much to report, and that's the problem. Referrals are going slowwwwly.
The wait is now at three years-plus for those just starting out. We've been waiting for more than two years.
Sigh.
Here's a link to the latest from the tireless RQ:

SIGH.

A Bit of News
It's not exactly great news, but here is the latest update, from your friend and mine, the Rumor Queen.
China has made referrals through Jan. 9, 2006. That's five days of Log-in-Dates. Not great.
But, we are getting closer.

And here's hoping they make better progress next month ...

What's taking so long?
It's coming up on two years (two years) since our all-important LID. So what's the holdup?
The simple answer is that the line got longer. The reason it got longer is that the Chinese began to refer fewer babies every month. And so a backlog grew. And grew. (And there are lots of theories as to why China began to refer fewer babies.)
Besides this, China changed the rules for adoption, and people hurried to get their paperwork in so they could be included under the old rules. This added to the people in line.
If you want to know more, here's a web site called Rumor Queen (a.k.a RQ). She does all kinds of projections, she has adopted two little girls from China and she is really into this stuff (though no one knows her true identity. Kind of like the Lone Ranger of Chinese adoption.)
