So as I sit here waiting, I am trying my best to control myself from screaming or calling the Ministry of Children and Families.
With the experience we have gained in adoption over the last 7 years you would think that I would be so much more in control, cool, calm and all those zen like emotions. These characteristics are do not come naturally to me, SO HERE I AM, trying to pretend to be cool. If anything, I am more cautious of all the unexpected things that could occur.
How did we get here. We decided 7.5 years ago to build our family through adoption. Our agency guided us to go through the China Program as it was a SURE thing and it would not take more than 1.5 years. Fast forward to 2012 we have a lovely daughter from Vietnam who has given us with so much joy and laughter. We are so blessed. You would think that we would be done....well when we were notified last fall that we were next (translation - anytime in the next year) there was no way we could just say, "ya, no thanks". A sibling for K and an amazing chance to grow our family. We are ALL IN! We had to adjust a few things in our lives, but here we are, so ready again.
Are you wondering why I want to call the Ministry Office? Well they have our Referral Package, Proposal, a photo and brief description of our child from China. Another blog confirmed that they have them, I just have no idea when the Ministry will call my adoption agency with the news, who will then call me.
This time it's different. I have been following a blog....http://chinaadopttalk.com/category/referral-rumors/. This has given me a lot more to be informed and connected with the China adoption community world wide. Amazing what RQ does!
Ok so there, my first Rant. Now I wait some more.
