Stork has landed at GWCA

Well, referrals came today. Unfortunitally it wasn't a big batch. Which makes me think that the 24 month rumors might actually be right. October is such a big month and our agency still has 4 more LID dates to get referrals for Oct. Its scary to think that we won't have Emma until summer of 2008.

I see alot of posts about people switching to other countries. I can understand why and it is each families choice. I think everyone stating these families are selfish are not seeing the whole picture. Its supposed to be about providing a family for a child that doesn't have one. If China has too many couples wanting to adopt and there just aren't enough babies then maybe it is best for families to provide a home to a child in another country. Its what adoption is all about, providing a family to a child that has none. Another note on this is that if families do switch to another country, just maybe it might speed up the wait in China. Only if they are switching ahead of our LID that is. :-)

Well, I guess its time to plan a vacation for this year. No use saving the money to travel to china. I really am beginning to realize that a trip to China in 2007 is NOT going to happen. Sad, but true.
