Spring has sprung, thank goodness!!! April is here, warmer weather has arrived, spring soccer is beginning and baby referrals are in....I have been putting off mentioning referrals just simply b/c they suck this month...the number referred sucks! I hate to say it like that, but that's exactly how I feel. They have matched families with babies logged in through Jan 9th 2006.....BIG BUMMER. I really thought they'd have gotten further into Jan of 06 by this point, but once again disappointment. And again, there's nothing we can do but pray for this speed up that supposedly is going to happen again one day soon. We pray that next month on May 1st they have gottten MUCH farther into January....with our log in day of March 15 2006 I feel like we are soooo close and yet sooo far at the same time. But...I still feel God's blessings for chosing this path for us, and although my hearts hurts and aches on a daily basis while enduring this wait, I have not given up hope AT ALL, that our sweet Sophie Ruth is waiting for us and we will get to her some day soon!
I love this baby girl who lies oceans away...I love this baby girl who I've yet to meet, but will some day....
I thank God for this adoption journey and thank him for the daughter he has made waiting for us.
Okay, so on a happier not so negative note....Gramma Jean came last weekend and we had a fabulous time, Thank you so much Gramma Jean! Mommy and daddy went out on the town till the wee hours of the night while Gramma and Charlie spent some fun time together. And we also spent the day in the warm sunshine at the zoo! And much to Charlie's delight he got to see his favorite animal the tiger, up close and personal which made his day!! We love you Gramma and can't wait for our journey together in China to be coming some day soon!
