Happy Halloween

Today we got to hand out candy for Halloween, And we got to see all the cute costumes. I was shocked at some of the ages of some of the people that were trick or treating . One instants was a mother and her son and the grandmother dressed up and they all had a candy bucket.. I just had to sake my head and laugh.. I really wanted to tell them that they are kind of old for trick or treating .. Hopefully we will not have to wait to many more years to take Nicole out.

Another Month Down

Today it has been 21 months since we were logged into the CCAA.. Each month that goes by and referrals come out the wait grows by one month..The current wait time from Logged in to referral is 33 months.. I have been asked many times how I could be so calm through this whole wait. Well the only thing I can say is I have no control over the wait, and life is stressfull enough without worrying about things that I can not change.. I am also not a person that follows all the rumors that fly around the adoption world.. In the China adoption world there is a blog called the Rumor Queen. That blog is not my cup of tea .I am a cold hard facts person. I see to many people get there feathers all in a ruffle over rumors ..

One thing that helps me cope is I say to myself , Am I ready for my life to turn upside down yet? and the answer is NO.. Our day will come when it is suppose to.. So we are waiting patiently for the time being.

Home Study Update

Today we had our home study update . We finally got to meet our new social worker. When Children's Hope closed there Cleveland office , we had to get a new home study agency. It has been 2 years since we had our first home study finished so our dossier could go to china.

We finished off the day with a visit to Olive garden , were my husband took me for dinner for my Birthday.
