Most people reading this know that we are chasing our 2nd daughter, currently waiting for us in China. With our adoption of Sarah in 2004 the wait was only 6 months from the time we were logged in with the CCAA to our referral day. Today the CCAA announced they had match May 26-30th....that's the 3rd month of May referrals. And it didn't even include LID's for the 31st. So, basically it will take 4 months to match 1 month of LID'S....and there are still 7 months of LIDs ahead of us!!!! This all sounds like greek to those outside the international adoption community, but what it means.....we've got a long wait ahead of us. Rumor has it, we'll be lucky to get our referral by the end of 2006.
When we were waiting for Sarah this would have killed me. Our arms are far from empty as we wait, but we will still long for our daughter that is waiting for us in China. Right now, she is simply MeiMei (may-may), which means "little sister" in Chinese. Coming up with a name has been quite a challenge!!
We have still maintained our website at www.swanstochina.com. As I get better with this site we may look at closing that one down. Just need to see which one is easier to maintain.
For now...here is Sarah...so dearly loved by so many. We have been truly blessed.
