It's official!!

The 6th is in. I just read on Rumor Queen that a family in Australia just got the call and there date is the 6th. So we are NEXT!!! Here's to sweet Shelby dreams for me tonight. The only thing that could make it better is if we were all surprised and they slipped us in too.

Are we really next?

So it's not official, official but several agencies are reporting that the cut off is the 6th so that means we are next!!! There isn't anyone in front of us we are next (have I mentioned that already?)! The pictures below are of the file and matching room in China...





Pray my documents are safe and sound please. The next prayer is that we will soon be saying fly stork fly!!!

Happy Chinese New Year

In China they have officially started their Spring Festival to celebrate Chinese New Year. It is the Year of the Ox and let's hope by the description below they are inspired to work like people born in this year!!

The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. This powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm, and modest. Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint

Devastation...how much can we bear?

How much devastation can I bear apparently a little more! I had hoped for a minimum of 3 days in this batch and as you can see we only got 2. I think this will push me out to an April referral. I think I can definitely say we will see her by May...with only 3 work days left including me even if they only do 1 day a month that means May. I'm trying not to be a downer but with this blow it's difficult. I'm hoping that this batch was so small because they are breaking for the Chinese New Year next week and they wanted to get them mailed. It's what I have to believe to get out of bed. Hopefully I won't be disappointed next month...goal is to get to the 6th so we can be next!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

What a great late Christmas present...

Wow China knocked me off my feet this morning...only 19 days from the last batch of referrals arrived and more came today. They finally finished February and this was an answered prayer. Can you believe we are into single digits? It makes the dream of a late February/early March referral stay alive for me. I think I can say April would be the latest but with only 4 business days ahead of me I'm gonna put my heart out there one more time and hold on to March. It's so cool to say I'm hopefully next, next! It's been nice to have a smile on my face all day today (that hasn't happened in a long while).

Not official but close enough...

I think it's safe to say we are getting through the 23rd for this months referrals. This is what the Spanish site is saying and they also report that referrals are on the way. I was hoping for the 24th (minimum...heart was really set on the 27th). It's disappointing because I think it will push us out another month to April of 2009. I know I should be happy I'm so close (especially when I think of all the families behind me) but it just seems with so few days left they could just get to me already. Here's hoping they finish 2-06 next month but I have a bad feeling we may only get to the 27th...argh!!!
