Number 8..


So when we started this adoption, the average was eight months for a referral. We're here!!!! But alas as you all know, things change. It sucks. I remember when we started 8 months seemed so far off. I couldn't imagine getting to the eight month mark. And now that we're here, well we're talking at least another 4 months(maybe more) until our referral and then we have the court process which can be another 4 or so months until we travel. Now I really can't imagine 8 more months!!! Can you imagine another eight months? What can I talk about for another 8 months!?! I'm not liking this eight number!! But I will try to stay positive...Okay, I'm done trying.... No really, at least we've made it this far and we aren't just starting. So today I will celebrate getting to this eight month mark...and moving on to better things!!

Congrats on being at the big number 8.

I am so sorry about the wait time increasing. I know how hard this must be for you guys. I will be really hoping that things pick back up. Hang in there.

The number "8" blows. Wee have been waiting for 8 months since we finished our homestudy for our country (Vietnam) to open. Yours in good company. :)

Wish you lived closer we could have a beer and celbrate how much closer you really are. I know your referral is out there soon and it's going to be a fantastic one.

Oh Ann I can identify. When I sent in my paperwork for China adoption the wait was 6 months for a referral. Well, I waited 14 months. It is tough. I wish you peace while you wait.

8 months, you made it! I hope that your call comes sooner than you think. Also, great new look for the blog.

Ann, hopefully the wait is shorter than you think. You are 8 months closer to your baby than when you started, so that is good!
