Once again... another batch of referrals have come out... my agency only has referrals coming out until the 16th but there are other places saying that they had referrals out for the 20th - I am not saying this is the case... at least until I read for myself that it did indeed happen...
Though I have two friends (that I know of so far) have gotten a referral... so congrats to Debz and family on the referral of their daughter Jazmyn... and the other Nikki and Larry are in the middle of waiting for the all important call for their daughter... so congrats to both... and then there is Kim and her family who are in China now and got their daughter... once again... congrats to you all...
Sophia....
Jazmyn...It makes my head spin to know that our turn is just around the corner... (LID April 5th)... when we get the call is anyone's guess but I do think - no, I do know it will be this year and I bet that we will travel this year... I will admit that I find myself more nervous, excited, antsy, happy with this part of the wait - then how I felt with the big wait... I was thinking today that I need to get out and look for a doctor that I can talk to before heading off to China... there is one in town who has experience with alot of the adopted kids in this area and so I think I will go to her for now... I am on the look out for 'lists' too... so, if anyone can send me a few good ones... you know you can send them my way... I don't want to be inundated with lists and running around later on...
I have made alot of friends along the way... though as everything in life... I know that in time that alot of these friends I have met now, I will end up losing touch with... the way I see it... people come into your lives for a purpose... learn lessons from them etc and then when those lessons are learnt (whatever they are) then you end up parting ways... I do know that I will stay friends with a handful of these poeple (whoever they are)... it is like, alot of the people that I am friends with now... we are all together to help each other through this crazy wait... at least this is the way I see it... I maybe wrong...
Not a great deal going on around here... life has been pretty much work... which is a good thing I guess... next week we are heading to Ft Lauderdale... so that should be nice to get away for a little bit... then July... Colorado... that is the one I am looking forward too... I did get myself a new Point and Shoot Digital Camera since a little bird brain decided he was going to go for the shiny parts on my camera and pick the lens apart... if he wasn't so cute I would pull all his feathers off...
I will catch up again soon...
14 pearls of wisdom:
more days down and YOU are SOOO much closer to looking into the eyes of YOUR little one
Hey Girl,
Yeah, GW's next date was the 16th, but it appears the cut off date is the 20th - we have no 20th families, our next is the 21st. Too bad the cut off date wasn't the 21st. Then would be only 3 more LID dates in front of you. My goodness could you be getting a referral this year? I see you getting a referral in Sept!!
Hey! I'm going a little insane. How about you?
We have a little hand held Canon too. It's great for throwing in the purse and grabbing Chinglish pics on the go. Ours also takes great video.
It all just seems so sereal right now....I am still on cloud nine. I have a busy summer lined up to prepare! My nursery needs to be turned into a princess room!
Thanks for celebrating this news with us!
I can't wait for your day to come Fliss! I banking on it being this fall.
Hey Flissy!
Yea, I am experiencing some of the same emotions you are as we both get a little more excited, nervous, antsy, etc. I sat down and tried to figure out when they would get to us with an LID of 04/05/06 and if they keep doing 6 days, that would put us getting a September referral! I think I can handle that! hahahahaha I guess then we would travel in October. That would also give me time to get my new students settled, my classroom setup and organized, and the ball rolling for the new year at school before I would go out on maternity leave! Oh my goodness....I just got those little "goosebumps" from the excitement of just thinking about such things! Woohoo!
And as for your comments about STAYING friends with people you've met along this journey......well girl you are STUCK WITH ME for the long haul! hahahahahahahaha
Love ya girl!
P.S. I don't want to see any pictures of a bald little bird! hahahahahahahaha
You are sooooo close!! You have to be getting excited! Just think by Christmas your little one will be home...finally.
Enjoy your vacations. I will be following even closer now.

You are so close now. And it really makes the wait feel a bit shorter as we watch bloggy friends receive referrals, doesn't it?
