NEWS UPDATE

WELL WE ARE NOW 2 MONTHS INTO OUR WAIT AFTER OUR LID. WE ARE GETTING CLOSER BUT IT STILL SEEMS LIKE THE WAIT IS GETTING LONGER AND LONGER. THE RUMORS FLOATING AROUND ARE THAT THE WAIT WILL GO PAST THE CURRENT 11 MONTHS AND COULD BE 2 YEARS! WHEN WE STARTED AND DECIDED THAT CHINA WAS IT FOR US THE WAIT WAS 6 MONTHS, THIS WAS A BIG PLUS FOR US. NOW NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHEN WE WILL BE GOING TO CHINA, IT IS KINDA ALL UP IN THE AIR. AND IF YOU KNOW ME YOU KNOW THAT I LIKE TO BE IN CONTROL SO THIS IS KILLING ME. THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE IN TIMES IS ANYONE'S GUESS. IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE HUNAN SCANDAL WHERE PEOPLE WERE CHARGED WITH "SELLING" BABIES, IT COULD BE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE SO MANY MORE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DECIDED TO ADOPT FROM CHINA, IT COULD BE BECAUSE THE OLYMPICS WILL BE IN CHINA IN 2008, OR IT COULD BE BECAUSE LESS PEOPLE ARE ABANDONING THEIR BABIES(WHICH IS A GOOD THING). WHAT EVER THE REASON IT IS CAUSING THE WAIT TO KEEP INCREASING. IT COULD KEEP GETTING LONGER OR IT COULD START SPEEDING BACK UP WE JUST DONT KNOW. ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE DECIDING NOT TO ADOPT FROM CHINA AND ARE GOING TO SOME OTHER COUNTRY TO FIND THEIR BABIES. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT AND THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE WILLING TO DO. WHY YOU ASK ARE WE STAYING WITH CHINA? MY ANSWER IS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE OUR DAUGHTER IS. WE WILL STICK THIS OUT AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO BRING HER HOME TO HER FOREVER FAMILY. NOW LETS JUST ALL PRAY THAT CHINA SPEEDS IT BACK UP CAUSE I AINT GETTING ANY YOUNGER! :-)
