What a great Thanksgiving we had with family...catching up, sharing meals, and squeezing in little bit of shopping. Yet I can only think that when we started the adoption process back in January we'd be sharing a picture of our little one during the holidays. No such picture to share at Thanksgiving, and I'm confident that we will not be holding a picture at Christmas. This will be our year of anticipation and fantasy thinking about who our little one is...name, age, gender, size, hair, eyes, smile, etc.
We are in high hopes that February will be our magic month. One of the other couples we met from our agency that started in October 2010 is currently #1 on the list. I am so so sooo excited for them! However, they've been #1 for a month now so it leads me to believe there were no referrals in October. If we keep up the current pace we're looking at at least 13 months to referral which leads me to February as the earliest.
So you ask what number we are? Well to be honest, I have not asked because I don't want to know and be disappointed. I will wait until after the first of the year to ask and hopefully be pleasantly surprised being up from #7 in October. Sooo looking forward to the next holiday season being one of preparation and glowing about our soon to be with us little one...hands, toes, belly button, bum, and all!
Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way. ~Native American Saying
