Update

I do have some stuff to take pictures of and post but have not had the time yet. I really just wanted to update everyone on the progress. Right now it seems like our progress is just taking us further away instead of closer to our precious daughter. When we first started this process we thought we would have her by now or be preparing to travel. Well I spent a couple of months working out of town and our social worker went to China and then had 7 homestudies to complete at one time so we ended up a couple of months behind the schedule that we had planned for ourselves. Then finally in February we got our DTC and our LID, which meant that hopefully we would have her or at least her referral by Christmas!!!!! Since that China has slowed down the referral process DRASTICALLY. At this point I can't even speculate about when we may have Kaleigh. The wait gets really difficult sometimes and it is hard to talk about. Then something will happen to renew my faith in our decision. I know that God is trying to help me with this journey and I think he is trying to work on one of my bad traits too (lack of patients).

Anyway this post was not to be a depressing post but a thank you to the wonderful people who have posted comments to us. I really appreciate the encouraging words and the knowledge that there are others out there who know about this ups and downs of this process. I also wanted to let you all know that I would respond to your comments if I could, but have been unable. If you would like to email me directly with questions or comments please feel free.
