Melissa pointed out that I haven't posted in over a week. There's no news, as usual and sometimes I need to go away from it. I read sites and blogs about adoption and China and adoption from China every day - I can't seem to tear myself away - but other than that, I go through times when I can't actively THINK about it or I'll go crazy. And going crazy won't help matters much.
One thing that is reassuring... I keep saying a two year wait - and it still may be - but we're at the point of the wait that it shouldn't be any MORE than two years, and it could very possibly be less. Everything points to fall 2008 to winter 2009 (as long as the rate stays about the same), and so two years from now, Spring 2009, we should be home with four kids (four in total, not four new ones hee heee heee, now THAT would make me crazy!). So we are getting closer... maybe our wait is 18 months, not two years. PJ is almost 18 months (well, almost 16 months) and that went so fast...
Rumours are that referrals will arrive tomorrow or early next week. The GOOD news with that is it was a short cycle - about 28 days between referral batches, which is really good. Other good news (but could be bad) is rumours are pointing to a rather large bunch. Last batch referred up to October 24. Estimates suggest October 31 would be good progress (by number of families not number of days) but in fact there are stirrings that the cut off may in fact be into November. November 2 would be good, November 5 would be awesome, some rumours even point to November 11! (which I don't believe for a second). The problem with all these rumours is I start to believe them - maybe THIS is the month that things start to move faster. I've thought this each of the last five months... and referrals come and the cut off is a disappointment. I can FEEL myself being set up for disappointment. And that makes me cranky.
So, that's it... ramblings and such, but nothing of any consequence.
