Nothing New

No news to report. I found this picture on another blog and thought it was super cute so I "stole" it!

Margaret

My Family

My immediate family got together and took some pics last Sunday. I grew up in a small town in Alabama on a farm. My parents still live there, and always will! Dad and my brother Kevin recently restored a John Deere tractor that my dad then put up for sale. A couple of weeks after it had been for sale I had the bright idea that we would get together and take pictures in front of the tractor. Well, low and behold the tractor sold the day before we were to take pics so dad drug another tractor out, but this was not quite what I had planned. Oh well!!

Update

I spoke with Sarah at our adoption agency yesterday and FINALLY got a ballpark number out of her. Something I have been trying to do for about six months!! There are less than 30 families in front of us!! This does not mean after 30 more children's files come in we will be matched. We have a narrow checklist of medical needs and someone behind us with a broader checklist will be matched before us. However, we have needs selected that families in front of us do not have listed, so we will be matched before them. While the list does not move chronologically, it felt good knowing we are close to the top!! I am still hoping to know something by the end of May!!

Update....Or Not

I thought I needed to post something, but I don't really have anything of any importance to say. We have not recieved "the call", and I am not expecting it anytime soon. At this point I really hope we know "who" and "where" our child is by summer, but who knows. We are MCC 15 months today and I know some families who are 17 months +. I know of 2 families waiting for babies with malformed fingers/toes, club feet, malformed ear in frontof us. But, there could be 20. That is 1 thing that drives me crazy, just plain not knowing!!!!!!!!!!!

Nursery Pictures

Some of you have asked if we have started the nursery. Actually, we are done!!

The Room Is Finished!!

Today we finished the nursery!! Adding her name was the only thing left to do, and now it is done!!

Happy 2009 !!

It has been so long since I set this up I can't remember how to post pictures! I am going to try to put a picture or our puppy Sadie up so everyone can see how cute she is and so I can figure this out again!! LOL

No Referral for 2008

We had really hoped for our referral before Christmas but that did not happen. Now we are hoping for before Valentine's Day, but who knows. This international adoption thing is not for the faint of heart. So many things we were told have not come to fruition. I am kind of down today in case you can't tell. All we can hope for is to see Garret or Makena's face very soon. Happy 2009 to all !!

Moving On Up

Our adoption agency, CCAI, placed 16 children a couple of weeks ago!! I called to find out our "place in line" now and was told approximately #100. I was a little disappointed, had hoped we were about #80, but considering we have been in the thousands, I'll take it!! Will let everyone know when the line moves again. Or, any other interesting news.

MAY '08

We finally recieved our extension on our I 171 & new fingerprint approvals after 12 weeks & 4 days!! We are ready to GO when we get our referral. Our agency placed over 36 children last month! We believe, hope, pray, that we may recieve our referral by the end of the year. I am guessing anywhere from September to December is a possibility. Michael's birthday is in September & that would be a great b'day present. However, I believe that Oct. or Nov. is probably more realistic. I really wish we could have our baby home for Christmas, or be in China at Christmas.
We submitted a Medical Conditions Checklist with our agency on December 10, 2007. This allows us to select what special needs we are willing to consider. Since we will be first time parents we were not that adventurous.
Keep checking back I am going to attempt to post once a week if I have info. Once every two weeks even if I don't!!!

December 07

Okay, we are re-doing our homestudy, fingerprints, etc. We have also submitted our medical conditions checklist for a child with a medical need.
