You would think that on our third adoption I would be more patient, that I would know waiting is part of the process. All adoptions no matter what have some waiting, and that this adoption will be no different. Intellectually I know this, emotionally, I want my baby's referral YESTERDAY!
I want to know her name. I want to send her and her foster family a gift and photos. I want to be doing something to bring her home, not just sitting 13th on the list and......waiting. I want it to be November or December, as according to my social worker, I will be more likely to get a referral. I want to know her face, and her smile. I want to know how old she is so I can start to shop for cute clothes! I want to know her. I'm not trying to complain, or sound like someone who is whining "it's not fair....", I have not been wronged. I just want to know my child. The anticipation is maddening.

I had to call
We moved up the list one slot today. "One small step for man...."
Hey we've moved up 9 slots in a month and a half! That's good. Now to be matched!
Oh, retail therapy! Gymboree thank you for helping me get through the process three times now.

Day Two
So many people on the Holt BB have received referrals, and travel calls within the past two days, I can't help but wonder if we've moved up the list. I'm trying not to call Eugene, but I feel I must!
My First Blog Ever
This is my first blog ever. I decided finally to do one. In the adoptive families community it is a common and celebrated way to keep family and friends in the know about how the adoption process is going. Let's start, shall we?
My hubby and I have been officially in process for a daughter from South Korea since early this summer 2008. We have 1/2 of the immigration process finished, and are finished with all of the paper work need to be matched with a child. We are requesting a daughter from the Waiting Child Program. We are open to a child with special needs. As you all know both of my children were also special needs placements. We are waiting sort of patiently at the moment, and hope to be matched before Christmas with a child 4-6 months in age. Keep checking back for updates!
