Holy fortune cookies! We are next on our agency's list of waiting families! I wish that meant that we were going to get our referral in June but it will more likely be the first week in July! Here is what I predict (with help from RQ polls) it will boil down to in the next few months:
June - Jan 13-16
July - Jan 17-23 (US!)
Aug - Zero (curse those Olympics!) Just in case, though, Jan 24-Feb 1
I have started packing and trying to get organized, but we still have so much more to do! Yikes, what the heck have we been doing these last 3 years! Actually, now that I think about it we have accomplished quite a bit!
Just to name a few:
*Painstakingly completed a dossier and sent it to China!
*Read a bunch of books on adoption, attachment, and Chinese culture!
*Decided on a name!
*Adopted 2 cats and 1 puppy, who has grown into an 80 lb monster!
*Lost 2 dogs and 2 hamsters!
*Gary started a new company!
*Finished the nursery!
*3 graduations
*Finished 5 courses on international adoption (required by our agency)
*Took classes for Infant CPR Certification (passed!)
*Completed shots for hep A&B, typhoid, tetanus!
*Redid our I171H form and the mountain of paperwork that goes with it!
*Fingerprinted 3 times!
*Moved our kids 18 times!Marie 5x, Sarah 6x, Adam 5x, Justin 1x,Marcus 1x
*Made lifelong friendships with other waiting families!
This list could go on and on, but I have a lot to do today, so I better get going! AAACCCKKK! WE'RE NEXT!

RQ has 1-23-06 on her Horrid column for June! I think it is a bit optimistic, but wouldn't that be cool if it did happen in June!!
Go June! Go June! Go June!

OMG! Sharon, that means we will get our referrals on the same day and we would see each other in China! My heart went in my throat when I saw the RQ projections! BREATHE! BREATHE! BREATHE!
