Confirmed Disappointment...
On Friday, it was confirmed that we are not receiving our referral this month. The cut off was 1/17/06 - the 18th and 19th were weekend days so they missed us by 1 day. The good news is we know that we will receive our referral in the beginning of December and then travel to China to pick her up in January 2009. That means we were on China's list for exactly 3 yrs!! Not to mention it took us 6 mo before that to get all the docs needed to send to China. :( At least we'll have her picture before Christmas to share with family and friends and we can start shopping for her!!! :) We've started working on her room this weekend. We've got tons left to do but it keeps us busy while we wait. Grayson is telling everyone that he's getting a new baby sister. He's excited too!

seems like you are in good spirits! I was just telling someone today that people not adopting don't understand that it is JUST like expecting (worse probably- you aren't promised 9 months):) and that you love your child before you know them, before you see them for the first time AND YOU LONG for the to be in YOUR ARMS!
I know we have never met but hope someday we do both with ALL our children home in our arms!
Thinking and praying for you in the months to come!!!
That's a long time to wait but at least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to see a picture of her.
It's going to be great Shell!! I seriously can't wait!! Okay, so Amy and I are going to throw you a shower. Do you want it before she comes home or after?? Also, we are finally done borrowing all your stuff. Do you want me to bring it by??
