The Adoption Option

My spot for thoughts, feelings, rambles, and updates as we journey through the adoption process. Highlights: Dossier arrived in Thailand ~ Sept 26, 2005; Approved ~ October, 2005; Matched ~ August, 2006; Referral received ~ January 2007; Traveled & Home ~ June, 2007; Finalized!! ~ December, 2007

The waiting game

Well, our referral was mailed out yesturday and might already be in the hands of our agency (hopefully everything went as planned, we paid enough for overnight delivery). Now all the signed paperwork is sent back to Thailand and we start waiting all over again. Hopefully we'll hear about a travel date in about 6 weeks, but don't hold me to it. Anything can happen and time estimates don't mean much, so I've come to learn.

But I have a check list of plenty to keep me busy over the next month or so. 1) Get old dressers ready for sale 2) Buy new dressers 3) rearrange room to make room for the crib 4) Go through Ian's old clothes and try to find appropriate stuff for Jesse (luckily they were born at the same time of year and Ian was on the small side also) 5) Take lots of deep breaths :) - Not in any order.

People say this is the hardest part of the waiting process and I could see that, but right now I'm calm knowing all the papers are accounted for and this really does appear to be happening.

It will be fun to get everything set up for Jesse. Going through old clothing, toys, etc...
Have you received any adoption gifts?

No gifts - I don't really expect anything. We only have a few purchases to make and everything else we have from Ian.
