Introduction to my new, exclusive blog

I'm in nesting mode this week, so I figure what better way to establish my mindset as "due at any time" than to start a blog specifically for our adoption. I've been toying with the idea for a while, but the idea of counting the proverbial chickens made me a little hesitant. Now I feel more confident that things will happen as we've planned and hoped for a year, so here we go.

I'm dreaming every once in a while about a young'n with almond eyes and black, black hair. Sometimes she has curls. Last night, she spoke English and asked me my name and I fell in love instantly and I told Brian I wanted to keep her. Other nights she's sitting far away and I can see her, but I can't touch her.

I spoke with Stephanie at China Adoption with Love this morning about an issue. While we were speaking, she did tell me that they don't know when or what weeks will be coming in next, but we would travel in June if we were with the next batch of referrals. I'm hearing rumors that the cut-off for some agencies is October 20 and that the referrals will be in mid-April, but right now anything is anybody's guess.

And someone told me today that if I think the wait is tough now, wait until we get a referral! Ugh! And I'm already packing!
