Waiting, waiting.......

I wish I had some exciting news today, but we are still waiting for a LID (log in date). Once we are logged in, being matched is the next step. The wait is becoming unbearable, to the point of tears:(. It is like waiting to find out what you are having when you are pregnant, but the difference is that you know that you will find out at 20 wks. My experience with adoption so far is that timelines don't really mean SQUAT! No on knows for sure when things are really going to happen. Our super sweet social worker, Karla, has been wonderful, but even she cannot predict the future. You have to keep really low expectations throughout the entire process of adoption. If they say two weeks it really means four. Kind of like remodeling a house;) When the contractor says it will be ready in 6 wks, you might as well double that timeline, right?!!! Thank goodness for my special group of friends who are going through the same things. (Rushton and I may just have a pity party while we wait:) )Without them I would go crazy!! There will be such overwhelming joy when we find out who our daughter is, however, I know the wait will only get worse. Once we get matched it will be another 4-6 months until we can go get her. Praise the Lord for my other two children who keep me super busy! Jacob is so cute. He asks almost everyday, "when we going to get my baby sister?" Sorry to be so depressing!
My next post will be happier, I promise!



The kids letting a Chinese lantern go for their baby sister!


Jacob is praying for our China baby before we let it go:) So sweet!
