Earlier this month we passed the 9-month mark of officially being on the waiting list, but we began the process more than a year ago. If this were a pregnancy we'd have a little bundle home now. Instead, I e-mailed our homestudy agency yesterday and reminded them that it's about time to renew. Does anyone know what this is going to entail? I know it's not supposed to be as involved, but would like to know what to expect. We'll also have to redo our fingerprints soon.
I, like so many other waiting parents, had told myself that by this time we'd at least have a referral. But we may very well have five more months left before that happens... and maybe more. Part of me is grateful that we don't have a referral yet, though. I read so many blogs of parents who have pictures and stories of their child, but are waiting for a court and travel date. To me, that is going to be the most difficult part of the process. But, I know we'll be able to handle that when it comes. And on the plus side, my youngest brother will be coming home from Iraq soon so he'll be able to (hopefully) be here when we bring our babe home.
Tim's still recovering from his wisdom teeth surgery. I think he's very bored. Yesterday we went to the grocery store and today we picked up a framing order just to get outta the house. He's not a sit-still kinda guy, so I think this is pretty hard for him. I'm glad he's not in pain, though.
Happy holidays to all! - Sarah

Glad to hear you guys are doing well and the waiting game isn't KILLING you emtionally like it is us. I think I would feel better if i knew even just his age. Because as it is we can't even buy anything...a 13month old is way diffrent than a 24month old uhhhhh! I wish you both a very merry Christmas. Good luck renewing everything...you'll have to let us know how that goes!
