3rd "LID"iversary

Today is our 3 year "LID"iversary. Hopefully we only have one more LIDiversary to get through before we can bring home our China baby.

It is somewhat fitting given our experience with China adoptions that today we learned that our China agency is bankrupt and closing their doors tomorrow. After panicking due to very poor communication that made us think we had to have our new notarized application and additional payment to the new agency by tomorrow, we are much calmer now after reading all of the bits of info other Harrahs clients have gleaned. Apparently we have until mid July to submit the payment and paperwork to our new agency - CCAI. It looks like a good agency, but the unknown is always a bit worrisome. Harrahs was so flexible and laid back, and it looks like CCAI will be a bit more "hands on"; for example, apparently we will have to pass a quiz verifying that we took 10 hours of training before we will be allowed to make travel arrangements. Hopefully they will be as flexible about us adopting from Kazakhstan during the wait as Harrahs was.

Hi -
I just wanted to post a quick comment to let you know that I'm with CCAI (LID 4/05/07) and we adopted from Kaz this past fall with World Partners so you'll have no problems.
CCAI is the agency that you hear about on RQ that has the really reliable info. They are GREAT - you are in good hands. Feel free to email me if you have questions. Welcome to the CCAI family, you'll be very happy.

Sorry to hear about that! I'd be panicking. Sounds like you'll be in good hands.
