Tara's "good and good for you" pick for August

Okay, this is a simple, yummy, quick breakfast, snack or lunch. Thanks to my dear friend, Jennifer, for sharing this one; I'll call it a WHOLE WHEAT PB&B WRAP. Spread 1-2 T. natural peanut butter along the center of a whole wheat wrap/tortilla; then, drizzle with 1/2 t. honey and 2T. vanilla yogurt. Top with sliced banana and 1-2 T. granola. The amount of each ingredient is obviously up to personal taste. I hope you try this one; you'll be pleasantly surprised by the little party these five common ingredients will throw in your mouth!

Two days closer...

Yes, just two days (through LID 3-24-06) in the latest referral group...not the four days or more we were hoping to see but at least referrals are still happening. We don't plan on giving up our spot in line! Congratulations to those preparing to meet their newest family member!

Greetings, Guests!

We will use this blog to share news as we move one step closer to Baby Rock each day.

For those who need a bit of background...
We decided to adopt a baby from China in September/October of 2005. After completing mountains of paperwork, background checks, fingerprinting, etc. (collectively called the dossier), we were officially on China's waiting list on April 14th, 2006. This moment of acceptance is called the log-in date (LID). This date is quite significant because families are matched with children according to LID. If you follow referral dates (the date a waiting child is matched with a waiting family), you will be able to see how close we are to being matched--at least in theory. When we started the process three and a half years ago, China was matching month for month, meaning one month of LIDs were taking one month to match. Now, unfortunately, one month of LIDs is taking about four months or more. So...we wait...we vent...we cry...we breathe...we hope...we believe.

*To our family and friends-
A huge hug and thank you for sharing our frustration and our joy as we practice patience and faith, knowing Baby Rock is just over the horizon.
