ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS!!!

WELL MY LITTLE TICKER AT THE TOP SAYS IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE OUR LID! IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS BEEN FOUR YEARS! IF WHAT WE WERE TOLD IN THE BEGINNING WAS STILL TRUE, WE WOULD GET JADEN'S REFERRAL IN 2 MORE MONTHS. NOW WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN WE WILL BE GETTINER OUR BABY. MAYBE MARCH? LETS KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED. IF WE GET OUR REFERRAL IN MARCH WE WILL MOST LIKELY TRAVEL TO CHINA IN MAY. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT ONE OF THE PROVINCES IN CHINA HAS DECIDED TO MAKE ADOPTIVE PARENTS STAY IN CHINA FOR 3 WEEKS INSTEAD OF THE 2 LIKE WE WERE TOLD IN THE START. OH WELL WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BRING JADEN HOME WE ARE WILLING TO DO.
SO TODAY WE WENT OUT AND CELEBRATED 4 MONTHS DOWN. WE HAVE DECIDED TO START BUYING ITEMS FOR OUR TRIP A LITTLE AT A TIME. SO TODAY WE BOUGHT SPACE SAVERS FOR OUR LUGGAGE, GOTTA SAVE ROOM FOR THOSE GIFTS IN CHINA! WE BOUGHT DISPOSABLE BIBS FOR JADEN, AND WE BOUGHT CONVERTERS SO WE CAN USE OUR STUFF IN CHINA. AND OF COURSE WE HAD TO GET JADEN SOMETHING SO WE GOT HER A BABY EINSTEIN TOY AND THE CUTEST T-SHIRTS, ONE THAT SAYS "THIS IS WHAT CUTE LOOKS LIKE" AND OF COURSE ONE THAT SAYS "MY DADDY LOVES ME"! RUSTY REALLY LIKED THAT ONE!
WELL WE SHOULD NOW IF THINGS ARE SPEEDING BACK UP WITH THE NEXT BATCH OF REFERRALS. WE HEAR RUMORS THAT THEY MAY DO ALL OF JULY! WOW A WHOLE MONTH! BUT THEN WE HEAR THE CUTOFF WILL BE FOR THOSE THAT WERE LID BEFORE 7/13/05. I MYSELF AM HOPING FOR ALL OF JULY IN JULY! THIS WOULD MEAN THEY WILL START REFERRING WHOLE MONTHS AGAIN AND WE WOULD GET OUR REFERRAL IN MARCH, IF NOT IT COULD BE ALONG TIME BEFORE WE HAVE OUR BABY HOME! COME ON CHINA GET BUSY!
