Slow...and Slower



I didn't believe it when it was a rumor, but now it has been confirmed. The CCAA sent out only 2 days worth of referrals this week. For those of you who do not know what this means, it means that our adoption process just got slower than I could have ever imagined. However, things change every month and you just never know what to expect. It used to be that you could expect a months worth of referrals to be sent out each month, then it became 3 weeks worth, then 2 weeks, and now 2 days. This means we have waited a month for 2 days worth of referrals to be sent out. I am sorry to all of those who thought they would be getting their referral this month and to all of us who wait with no end in sight.

So..this means...We are taking a trip to Michigan this summer! :) We didn't go last year because we thought we would be traveling to China "any day now". Well, my best friend just had her 2nd little guy, Gabe, and I am going to go see him!! I also have family there that I would love to visit with. So...Lauren WILL someday be in my arms and I will rock her to sleep and read her bedtime stories and we will camp and go to Disneyland and she will absolutely adore her awesome Daddy....but until that someday happens...I will enjoy my days that are just packed with blessings.

I think referrals are going to be pretty slow until we get through the November LID's. btw the red door @ the wigwam gives an amazing sea spa pedicure...its not big sur but it is nice.

Awesome, positive attitude. I know it has to be hard to wait like this, and to expect one thing, only to be made to wait even longer. I do hope it happens soon for you. I hope things speed up. You will have your Lauren, and friends will be packing up to come visit you. Continue celebrating life and blessings, and preparing for you little blessing.
