Well, things seem to keep slowing down. At the beginning of this process I thought that we would have our referral (pic of our baby) by now and we would be traveling by July or August. Our Log in Date (LID) is 12-9-05 - and the have just referred babies for families with LID up to 6-6-06. So, they are pretty far off from December right now. I really hope that things speed up.
I know that there is a grand plan and I need to stop worrying about "my time table" and think more about God's time table. This whole experience is teaching me about patience and trust.
I don't know if Leah has been born yet or not - we continue to pray for her and talk about her - and we all are very excited - I think I am the most impatient of the family - so the wait is harder on me. Again, lessons to be learned from this whole process -faith and patience.
I know we'll get the baby we're supposed to - that the time will be right, etc. I do continue to pray for the CCAA that they will speed up matching.
Leah's nursery is now painted a pretty color of green and her ceiling is light pink (got to have some pink!) - the bedding and crib stuff is a pink and green bunny toile - (from PB Kids) - I love it and can't wait to finish getting the room together.
Maybe I'll just spend this time shopping for clothes and things for the room!
Hurry up Leah!!!

Word Cloud
Here's a word cloud - you log on to a web site and put your blog address in and it creates this - thought it was cute!
One Child Policy
Here's a good overview of the One Child Policy in China -

It tells when and why it was established - but it seems that there is now a push for having more respect for women - I'll post a picture of a billboard that I found on the web. I think the push is great - but hard to turn around hundreds of years of tradition.
