You might be adopting from China if.......

Ok this was on one of my DTC yahoo groups and I just had to share it. It is soooo true for those of us who are adopting from China!

- you've been expecting a baby for over 3 years.
- you know that I-600 & I-171 aren't highways.
- you understand that it's 2006 in some parts of the world.
- you've "paid for" 3 citizenships, but never brought anyone into the U.S.
- you know that waiting for China has nothing to do with Dillards or dishes.
- your homestudy is followed by a number(i.e. #3 or #4, or in our case #6!)
- you never know how many days are in the next month.
- you've been fingerprinted four times, but never committed a crime.
- you automatically assume everyone who is expecting is having a girl.
- you own new clothing in 3 little sizes for all 4 seasons(because you dont know when or how big)
- you look twice when you see a ladybug.
- you're more interested in what will happen in March 2006 than in March 2009.
- you know people who understand when you talk about 2 day months & 5 day months.
- your due date hasn't changed by days, but by years.
- you know who the Rumor Queen is...AND...you dont know who she is.
- you know that forecast doesn't have anything to do with the weather.
- you've waited so long, they checked your fingerprints to see if they changed.
- trying to understand why they're printing you again, you study your own fingerprints and wonder if fingerprints grow wrinkles.
- when you speak of "that time of the month" you're talking about CCAA updates and referrals.
- you know that babies come in batches.

You might be adopting from China if you love someone you've never met with all your heart.
