Hi everyone- haven't posted in awhile. Not a whole lot to say. We had a great Christmas though I'm glad it's over.
Referals are moving at a very slow pace. Hmm- actually not even moving.
We are considering switching back to domestic adoption. Though it is just a consideration.This wait is unbelievable, and it doesn't seem to be getting any shorter. One of the reasons we chose China was because of the stability, huh, well so much for that. the hard part is, I have really fallen in love with the country, and the daughter I do not yet know. At the same time I want to complete this part of my life. I have been obsessing about this for way to long. It's scary to switch, but it's just as scary to stay at this point. I really wish someone would just tell me what I'm supposed to do. I'm really close to giving up all together. If I do that, I will always have regret. It's tough. I'll let you know what we decide, when we do.

WEll referals came out. They weren't that great. But some people have been doing some number crunching that makes it seem not that horrible. Referals came thru Sept. 8. But I guess they did approx. 200, so if they keep doing the same # of dossiers next time they really will do a month of referals, yet it will be the same number. So- we will get our referral in June?!? WE'll see. Does that even make sense to anyone besides me?
In the mean time, we had Ivys birthday party. The girls had a blast! I have decided that when they get older they will not be allowed to go out anymore!!!!
We are kind of throwing around the idea of doing some foster parenting. We'll see. It's something I'd really like to do, but at the same time it's something that scares me a little.
