Just another hump on the road of life... 
I cannot believe it is going on 2 years today for this crazy wait... had I known then, what I know now would I have still done this... yeah probably... who knows... at least then I would have had some idea as to what is going on... I have always thought that things in life happen for a reason and that things that happen (whether they are good or bad) are little lessons in life. Maybe I am learning to be more patient... to not want right now, what I can't have... I know very well at the end of this things it would have been worth but do I want to learn a lesson right now... NO!!!!!!! I hope we don't have much more waiting... but if we do - I guess I will have to go on another vacation somewhere... so, I would love to say CONGRATULATIONS to those people who are on their 2nd year of the wait and congrats to everyone else but I guess this is a word we don't want to hear right now... hang in there people... I do think our turn will come... just not soon enough! The best thing is the friends I have made along the way...

Mike did buy me a present... this huge Jim Shore figurine of Tink... what a keeper he is... nows how to treat the wifey and get her on his side...
37 pearls of wisdom:
I won't say Happy aniverssary, because marking 2 years of a wait is not happy, but I will say it will happen soon and it will happen this year. Hold on.
2 yrs closer to your daughter...
Love the figurine!
Bless your heart. I know this wait is so hard. I'm still praying things will speed up soon and you'll have that sweet baby home before you know it! Hang in there! I know you're tired of hearing this, but it really is worth the wait!
Love,
Monica
Happy? 2 years, girl. You'll get there....
Happy 2!!!
I LOVE Jim Shore! Someday I'll have the entire nativity set, I hope.
I know how you feel, we're going on our 20th month and the wait is HARD...no one should have to wait that long. Your time is coming I see it, and I hope it's before the year ends.
Love,
Sherri
I hope it comes soon for you! I only waited a year and it was really painful- I can't even think of a two year wait! let's hope it will come soon!
Oh, I LOVE the Tink statuette! That is SO cute! He is a keeper, indeed!
2 years closer to holding your daughter.
I love Tink, what a beautiful thoughtful gift. ;)
Two years is a long time to be waiting when you are told something else all together. At least it's two years done.
What a sweet hubby and what a long wait but I know in my heart God has already chosen the perfect child for you Fliss.
P.S. I think of you EVERYTIME I see Tinkerbell@!!
Hello My "Sister-In-Waiting!"
Yes, we have made it 2 years TODAY! I honestly don't know what to say or how to feel. I'm just kind of getting through the day, staying busy, and moving on. What else is there to do? One day we'll wake up and this wait will be over and we'll be mommies! Until then we keep ourselves busy, cry when we need to, laugh at the crazy ladybug and red string stuff, call and email each other often, and get through it. Thank God we have each other, right sis? Hang in there and I will too and we'll make it to the end!!!!
Love ya girl!

It's two years behind you and you're almost there!
Yay! 2 YEARS! That is an achievement. You've waited patiently, and you're still hanging in there. Many have jumped ship - but not you! ((hugs)) Shauna will be home in the not too distant future - you're definitely on the downhill run now!!!
Love the Tink figurine... wouldn't it be funny if Shauna's given name is An?!!
Two years down! I promise - the wait is worth it!
I hope all goes well for you. The wait shall be worth it.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments. Have a great week ahead!

It's closer then you think, in the grand picture it wil seem like a blip in time.
Hang in there babe, it won't be long.
What a super husband you have Fliss!!! I love how Tink is your own, personal, little adoption muse. and he knows about it!
I see what Monica said down there and i will mimic it. (My mom used tosay it to me when I felt badly and I loved it!) Bless you heart! I hope and pray your little child will fall into place very soon. Have you ever considered the SN lists? So many are such non issues. No pressure but it sure did get me out of that huge wait. Only not out of a long long wait, it felt like anyway! I can't wait till you get your little baby home. We will all be celebrating in blogland, that is for sure. In the meantime, you have the very best attitude and it is such a pleasure knowing you!!
All good things come to those who wait.
Congrats on being 2yrs closer.

Fliss we are right behind you!! And actually this is a happy day for you, because hey at least we are not just starting this wait... at least we can say we have all of this time behind us. Who knew we would still be sane!!!! I do believe there are alot of lessons to be learned in all of this time waiting and you are right out time will come!!
Love and blessings, Kristy
To wait to cradle such a thing of beauty makes any heart ache but Your's is an example that shines for us all. It will come, it will come ~ and what we learn along that road of waiting is the stuff that EQUIPS us for the future with this dear child. Do not merely WAIT - but wait in high expectations and continue to embrace the togetherness you have with your dear Mike - this time TOO is precious . . .
2 years done!!
Love the pressie.
Keep smilin!
It can't be long now. I'm still hoping that the referrals fall where we get to go over together. Its going to happen our little girls are there and waiting.
Getting there, really!!!
I definitely think anybody who tells us patience is not one of our quality might get something back from me, and not a kiss...
As for the vacations, go for it! What about a little visit up north now the snow is finally melting?
Have a good week!
You've got the right attitude---keep positive and keep busy. Ana and Gi
Oh how thoughtful and lovely of him! He is a keeper!
You are closer to your daughter.
Right here with ya! It sucks. No doubt about it. I'm just hoping that we won't be posting at all about anniversary #3.
What a beautiful gift from your husband! It will all be wirth this horrible wait when Shauna is in your arms! It's good that you havea positive attitude. I have friends who pulled out after 18 months. Those LID familes are now home with their children.

Love the Tinker Belle...
And remember that the time that you wait now will only seem like a blink once you have your sweet little girl in your arms...
2 years!
We'll skip past the Congrats and go straight to the "Hang in there" speech :) We're tougher than the Wait!
peace

Coming up right behind you on that road. I agree, had they told me the wait would have been this long I don't think it would have made a difference, I still want my daughter, what's another little while when I will have her forever right?
Vacation? Somewhere? Hey! I'm over here! Book it!
Love the figurine. What a wonderful hubs you have.
Stay strong! You're gonna make it!
We made it this far, hang in there!
2 years under your belt and on the downhill side of the wait. Congrats on making it this far!
Oh my gosh girl....2 years....I am so sorry that you are surpassing our wait time. No one should have to do that. The only thing I can say is we now say that it had to be that long as they were searching for the cutest girl in all of China. Yours must be Really, REALLY well hidden and ADOREABLE!
Hang in there and stop by ours anytime your need a small dose of our crazy reality.

I hope the wait comes to an end very soon for you. I know it will be worth every minute when it does, but that can't make the wait any easier to bear I'm sure.
