twenty-one months


i honestly have hardly any words left to say at this point. it is baffling that we are still waiting on a referral. i think we are now unofficially #1 on the single child list, but with so few referrals going out each month, it's anyone's guess how long we have left to wait. i'm pretty sure they are doing away with the adoption tax credit after this year, so if our adoption is not finalized before the end of 2012, we can forget getting any kind of reimbursement whatsoever. we have spent thousands more dollars than we anticipated updating paperwork that is expiring. so, so many things about this situation are making me angry. we would appreciate your prayers. and these things i've named are just the minor problems...the main one is that we just want our daughter home. period. and that is no april fool's joke.

Now there is some chatter!:) REally, not making fun of your grief at all. I so get what you are saying and the tax credit thing baffles me. Unbelievable to me that it is the first of April and we are starting to discount this year as a possibility-- even if we change our request to 1!
praying that you get a referral soon. Gotta be close -- has to be!

We think about you on the first of every month. We are truly praying that you receive your referral soon (this week!). We so look forward to seeing that post where you share your good news. You're getting close. It doesn't feel like it, but it's true. Hang in there - not much longer now. . .

All the best,

It is so hard to be at the top - harder than being in the middle because you know it is coming but you just don't know when. Prayers that you get that call soon!
