Minnesota Visit

Thank you for a wonderful visit, everyone! I'm sorry my mommy isn't very good about taking pictures, so we don't have any to share of Uncle John, Tyler, and London. (We do have fun memories, though!) Here are a few moments Mommy did capture.... Isn't Grandma "Honey" beautiful?! (Yea, AND she knows "Patty Cake" and "Wheels on the Bus" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Peek-a-Boo" and how to give really great hugs and snuggles!)
Uncle Chad, Mommy says she's sorry your face isn't visible in this picture, but she couldn't resist sharing this one because it shows how much you make me laugh!
Uncle Kevin, Auntie R.J., Rylee, and Delaney, thank you for letting us stay with you! We had so much fun!! (Sorry we couldn't use the sidewalk chalk--I'll save it for when you come to visit!)
Love you all and miss you already!

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.
