I don't know about you but I was not ready to see the snow showers yesterday. Winter is inevitable and I am having a hard time understanding where this year has gone! Time has passed so quickly and yet I'm still waiting for my little one! In fact, today is the 30-month anniversary of my paperwork being logged into China's system.
2 and 1/2 years.
One quarter of a decade.
About 1 and 1/2 years too long!
As the holidays approach, I think more and more about her. I've picked up a few things for her (and myself) this last week to help pacify the longing I am feeling for her. Today it was a Mulan and Mulan II DVD combo set from Target. Last week it was shopping cart with fake food, a Little People toy set, and a bag of round plastic balls that I can't wait to pick up daily from all corners of the house. Next week, who knows what it will be.
How much longer will I be waiting? Good question. With each month that passes I have a better idea. There are no rumors about how far out they are going to match this month. Last month, they finished through Febuary 15, 2006. My date is April 27 or 71 more days. My best estimate based on recent trends of matching 6 days per month is early October or November of next year. No one knows if they will speed up or slow down.
A referral in early September is a possibility and would be the best 40th birthday present ever! I can deal with a referral in early December if I have to but if it moves into 2010 I'm not sure what I'll do. Then we're talking about a whole new decade and that makes my stomach turn a bit.
Yes, I know it will all be worth it but this adoption roller coaster ride has its ups and downs and twists and turns. It makes my heart race with anticipation and my head feel a little dizzy at times and even a little sick to my stomach on occasion. I just know though that when I have Sophie in my arms I'll be able to say that it was the best ride of my life!!
Love to you all!
