Lilypie - Personal pictureLilypie Waiting to Adopt tickers
I am pretty disappointed that CCAA only got to March 8th. Although there is one person saying that they have a LID of March 9th, who said they got the call..but that could have been a fluke. Our agency hasn't sent out the usual Stork Alert, so I wonder if there is anything to this

It seems like this is going to take forever. DH said if CCAA only does 2 days from here on out, then we would get our referral in December. This really stinks...

To put a positive spin on it, CCAA DID get thru the 7th, a big day and babies have found forever families to love them... so I guess it really is a matter of perspective.

So glad you can put a positive spin on the elongated wait. Jenny, once you receive your referral, you'll understand the wait a bit more. I know, it sounds trite and cliche. I would like to point out that if we were on the 6 month plan back when we logged in, Roma wouldn't have been born yet. Fate has a way of bringing the best together.
Many (((Hugs)))) to you.

Jenny,

Hey there, girl. Well, your wait seems very hard, girl. I don't want to be anything but positive since you are always very upbeat, but I want to say that I think of you often with this wait. I wish I could say the right thing about waiting, too. Just very, very tough and I am thinking of you.

Jenny,
You know that the 7th alone was bigger than some other month referral batches when they go through more days. (Ok, anyone who understands that sentence knows WAAAAAAY too much about China referrals)
Next months batch will be a real indication of how soon.
Fingers crossed.

PS I bet she's was just born right about now....

Thanks ladies,

Sometimes I feel guilty for feeling the way I do. I mean, it's not like China owes me a child and for me to receive a referral means that my child will have lost the most important person in her young life, so I feel guilty about that too...

QJ,
I get what you are saying and I know your right.

Chrisser,
You said the right thing without knowing it *hugs*

Leigh,

Your statement about mia being born made me smile REALLY BIG! lol and I got butterflies!

Jenny,

Hugs sweetie. The 8th of March is a great day....DH was born :) So, hopefully, his birthday is the spring board needed to get to your LID. Fingers crossed and MORE hugs,

Deb

Hey Sis,
No worries, your Lid is going to come at you before you know it.. then you will be saying finally and you will be excited and scared at the same time. Take heart, it's going to happen.. it will this year.

Het Jenny,
I am soo sorry that things are not going as fast as you would like but hang in there. Well I have not been respomding as much as I like because I am going through something like you where going through with my family. I am one of 10 children and my Dad died suddenly with nothing in place and my real mother died soon after I was born so I truely just had my father. My step mother and the rest of the family where fighting over my two brothers that are severly(MR) I can relate to you when you wrote about your brother and your sister. Well good news I thought I would just let you know that We sat down all of us and put everytbhing on the table and found out that it was lack of commincation and we where very civil about everything and know one yelled and I can not believe we are now healing as a family. I just thought with all you are going through that maybe this could be something postive that you may look into so that you and your family can heal as a family.

Jenny said...

Thank you so much for your kind words. while I do believe that maybe in the future as a family we can get past the ugliness, trust will have to be built first and once lost it's hard to get back to that point.
I truly hope you are right, life is too short....
