The Wait



This is a journal of our long life's journey to add a baby girl to our family. All of our adoption paperwork is in China. Now we just wait and wait. Our social worker said the wait time to a match is 11 months. We can expect a referal in September. The boys want to buy clothes for the baby. We keep telling them to wait until we have her so we know what size she is.

While we're waiting we are trying to get some things done. We are going to begin construction on the new master suite and laundry room within the next few weeks. The week before Easter we will be taking a trip up to Monterey and Big Sur. The boys love nature and the Monterey Aquarium. Yesterday we enrolled Gabriel in Kindergarten for Fall. He will attend Colette's grade school. We also enrolled Julian in a Presbyterian preschool for Fall. Both schools seem like a good match for our family.

We'll keep everyone posted on adoption news and Gabe's loose teeth.
