3 Months!!

Note: I'm having some TECHNICAL problems with my blog....Ohh Connie, I need your HELP!!!
Anyway
s, this was my post from yesterday!!
Today is a great day!! It's my 3 Months LIDiversary!! Exactly 3 months ago today my file was logged into the China Center of Adoptions Affairs computer!! So I will celebrate by having a drink, plus I will celebrate Natalie & Daniel's TA (Travel Approval). They received that special piece of paper today and will leave for China in 8 DAYS to adopt their daughter Mei Lin!!I have no idea how much longer I have to wait. Since I'm in the WC program their isnt as much "rumours" out there on the WAIT. My agency is predicting a new batch of WC files to be sent to them in Dec/Jan. If they have a baby that matches my request then I could be matched then. If my agency cannot match me, my guess is I wont get a referral from CCAA until around April...YIKES!!
I have faith that my turn will come. I will wait however long it takes. I just keep reminding myself that as each day passes it brings me closer to Channing's referral, and soon I will have her in my arms FOREVER

congrats on 3 months!!! Your positive outlook is so refreshing to me, especially since I haven't been so positive about the wait. So congrats and thanks.

Congrats Kim! I hope for you that they have a referral for you on their list! Oh, also wanted to let you know if you want me to do any shopping for you at THAT store, let me know cause I think you have relatives here or close, I could either get the stuff to you or them! You must be seeing someone from Edmonton for Christmas! They have a big clearance on tops! LOL

Yeah !! 3 months!!!! and you are right just like us, every month brings you one day closer to your child.

I think about the day we will see our children for the first time (you must too), what a day that will be huh....

Hope you had fun celebrating and hoping for a quick refferal for you !

Gorgeous! I love looking at these "blogs" but I think this is the best one I've seen yet. We are just beginning our journey and I'm so blessed reading about other's journeys. How do you DO this...blogging thing? I would love to start documenting.
Thanks,
