How many do you see?


Let's play a little game shall we.
In this photo, how many candles are there?
This is no trick, just a question.
If you say three, then you are correct.
Well, what does a cupcake with three candles stand for?
Today is our third anniversary.
Not our wedding anniversary, but it has been three years since our paperwork was logged into the system at the CCAA.
Yep, three years. Who would have EVER thought this adoption would take that long? And the sad thing is, we're not even done yet. We have no idea how long it will end up being.
Some of the girls I have been able to meet during this wait have already been introduced to their precious little ones, and some got referrals Friday, some others are going to see their babies faces for the first time tomorrow, and I am so excited for them ( I will be stalking their blogs all day tomorrow for updates) and in a way, I can live vicariously (spelling?) through them till it is our turn. There are all sorts of rumors out there that things are about to speed up. Well, we sure hope so!

What a wild ride China adoption has become! If you can just hang on until we get our referral next month, I'm convinced things will start to pick up as soon as we are out of the way...;o)

Hang in there!
