Walking for Cancer

My office walked a couple of Sundays ago for Cancer. It was a very good time and cannot wait to do it next year. It made you reflect on family that we have lost from Cancer and also Cancer survivors.

We need a Beer!!!!

We went to the East Meets West Confrence yesterday held by our agency. In the morning was kind of stressful so guess what we found a bar. It put us a little more at ease with all the info that we had thrown at us. Some good some bad. But all in all it will probably a total of 3 years before we get Baby China and Joe and Julie's little Kaitlyn. We came to terms with that.
Putting our stress aside we had a really good time with our friends Joe and Julie. We couldn't get over all the newbies to adoption that were there and thought they were all crazy for just starting. If we were in their shoes we would not be doing this at all. This wait has been the most stressful time in our lives and I can't believe there are more people who want to get on this ride. CRAZY!!!

18 months

Well we hit the 18 month marker and no end in sight. We keep thinking will this ever come true our little family? We have our doubts every single day. One day just one day when I post something it will be positive. It is hard when the beginning of the month comes that we are reminded of our anniversary month and families get their children. When will be our turn.

What Happened?

Well we didn't see history made last night that is for sure. Norman is in a depressed state but like a true Bears fan that I am I said " There is always next year"

17 months

Well today is our 17 month anniversary yippee? Well, today families received their referrals. Their LID is up to December 27,2005. Which I am happy with those families, but sad for us September families. We have such a long wait I am trying not to count down but you just cannot help it. Someone is testing us and this test should be done by now. I just want my child. I am bitter, sad, and depressed. I check other websites and they have these beautiful familes. Kids galore and they need more? come on enjoy what you have and let others enjoy what you already have. Ok I let that out. That is just my opinion but congrats to everyone that received your referrals and good luck with the rest of the journey.

15 Months

15 Months and still counting. When we first started this process this is when we thought we would have our Baby China. We thought we were going to spend our Christmas in China. But here we are without our Baby China and who knows when we will have her. I really hope this is the last Christmas to be celebrated without her. Lets keep our fingers crossed....
