Happy Father's Day...

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy.

Wishing all Daddies out there a GREAT DAY!

We love you Daddy, Grandpa Geno, and Grandpa Pat!

2 months down!

It has been 2 months since our dossier has been logged in by the CCAA in Beijing. Unfortunately there isn't any excitingly positive news to announce. We are still looking at a heckuva long wait. I keep praying that one of these days I will log onto Rumor Queen to find some wonderful, worthwhile rumors that actually turn out to be true. The IA community has had far too much bad news from China lately. We could really use a boost.

At any rate...another month down, another 18+ to go. At least we are getting closer to Daisy...even if it is only baby steps.

Can I just vent a little bit?

This whole wait thing seemed OK in the beginning. We thought, 18 months, hmmmm... That doesn't sound very difficult. Actually, it seemed like it might even be a good thing considering the age of our kids right now. It would give Sofia some more time to be the baby and Tate a little bit more time to enjoy middle-child-dom. (Actually, middle-child-dom can end at ANY TIME...I think Tate will be in a much better place when he is actually one of the big kids...)

But...fast forward 5 months...and here we are almost 2 months logged in and up to a 19 month wait (and climbing). Can the wait actually reach 36 months?? Is that even possible? It seems like so much can happen in 3 years. In many ways that feels like F.O.R.E.V.E.R.!! I need to adjust my attitude accordingly and it JUST ISN'T WORKING!!

OK...I'm done now...

Referral time...

Congratulationbs to all of the new families being created this month!

The stork made a surprise landing yesterday and the babies are as sweet as ever! This referral batch covered families logged in between November 2 - 7, 2005. I know that November 2005 is annoyingly large, but does it have to take 3-4 months to get through??

The wait is now officially up to 19 months and rising. Geesh...
