AGENCY UPDATE: still waiting on little girls

Kevin talked with our agency today. There haven't been any healthy infant girl referrals since May, and we still have a few families in line ahead of us. What does that mean? Well, no one knows... that's what it means. If they had a handful of girl referrals all at one time (in my dreams!), we could get one anytime. If the girls straggle in one at a time, it could be a while. So, I'm good! I feel so reassured about this process, and we'll just keep going on with or lives... and one day we'll eventually get some exciting news that triggers a life-changing chain of events.

And... speaking of life-changing events, today was gotcha day for little Miranda and her family. Happy, happy day!

And... don't buy this book: Losing Plum Blossom. It's horrible. I had to stop after chapter one. I'm throwing it in the trash, seriously. I really don't want to read a huge novel about a woman from Indiana living in Taipei lusting over a gay physician.

Until then... stay tuned to this channel for more episodes of retail therapy, designer baby burp cloth construction, Chinese cooking, and an endless supply of cutie Sedona babydog pictures. Just don't expect a referral anytime soon. We'll be suprised together when the big day happens. Right, Sedona? What was that? Oh, you want to play fetch with your doggie phone? Okay, gotta go.


I bought these Gymboree pants from the sunflower fields line on eBay gently used. I got as excited about these pants as Sedona does for doggy treats! The paper lanterns pattern onesie and baby blanket packages arrived today too. They are lovely, and make me want to go out and buy some Dreft.

  2. You can stop jumping each time the phone rings (maybe your stress level can back down?) but I'm sorry that your hopes of a referral this month look slim. No girls since May? Yikes. I know there is some chance that people will switch to the "either" group or "boy" group but not likely, I guess. I know I won't be switching lists, regardless of wait, because this is our last child (although, we've said that twice now!).

  3. Thanks for stopping by our blog and for the great medicine advice! We did try some sort of flavor addition thing - not sure if it was exactly what you were talking about. He seemed to have just been in a funk about medicine in general. :) That's a great idea about the white grape juice - I did not know that!

    Best to you in your continued adoption journey. Hannah Claire is an adorable name! I hope you don't have to wait too much longer! We have been so blessed by adoption and are always thrilled to know others that are called to the same journey.
