REFERRALS!

WELL THE STORK IS ON ITS WAY FROM CHINA. AND THERE WILL BE MORE THEN 1 DAYS WORTH OF DOSSIERS INCLUDED. THESE REFERRALS WILL COVER 5/31/2005-6/6/2005! STILL NOT A WHOLE MONTH BUT MUCH BETTER THEN 1 DAY. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE WHO WILL BE SEEING THEIR BABIES FACES SOON! NOTHING MUCH HERE ON THE ADOPTION FRONT FOR US. WE HAVE MOVED ONE MONTH CLOSER. AND IN 19 DAYS (NOT THAT I AM COUNTING) WE WILL HAVE ONE MORE MONTH DOWN! IF THINGS STAY THE WAY THEY ARE NOW AND THE REFERRALS STAY AT 12 MONTHS THEN WE SHOULD GET OUR REFERRAL IN MARCH 2007! WE WOULD THEN TRAVEL TO CHINA 6-8 WEEKS LATER SO WE WOULD BE GOING IN MAY TO PICK HER UP. OF COURSE WE WERE EXPECTING TO HAVE HER BY CHRISTMAS BUT THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO JADEN'S FIRST CHRISTMAS WITH HER FAMILY LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE IN NASHVILLE 2007. EVERYONE IS INVITED! :-)
IF REFERRALS SPEED UP WE MAY HAVE HER SOONER BUT WE DONT SEE THAT HAPPENING. IF THEY START GETTING LATER AND LATER I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN WE WILL GET JADEN, BUT WE ARE IN THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL. THE OUTCOME WILL BE WORTH IT.
NOW WE WILL JUST TRY TO OCCUPY OUR TIME IN OTHER WAYS, THIS IS HARD. I AM FORBIDDEN FROM BUYING ANYMORE CLOTHES FOR JADEN. HER CLOSET IS FULL. WITH THE CLOTHES THE FAMILY HAS BOUGHT AND MYSELF IT WAS ALREADY FULL, BUT ON OUR TRIP TO MISSISSIPPI WE BROUGHT BACK MORE CLOTHES FROM JADEN'S COUSIN JODUS. HE MAY BE A BOY BUT HIS MOM SURE DRESSED HIM FEMININE(JUST JOKING) SO JADEN NOW HOWS ABOUT 20 PAIRS OF OVERALLS. I GUESS THEY WANTED JODUS TO BE A FARMER!?! SHE EVEN HAS HARLEY DAVIDSON OVERALLS AND BOOTS TO MAKE HER LOOK COOL. SO NO MORE CLOTHES SHOPPING FOR ME. BUT WHEN I HAVE WAITED SO LONG TO BE A MOM THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD FOR ME. THERE IS SO MUCH CUTE STUFF.......
