Well another Christmas is fast approaching and once again a bittersweet time as we celebrate the holidays with family and friends. The house is decorated and the stockings are hung and Jailyn is in our hearts and her stocking is in the middle of our fireplace underneath baby Jesus in the nativity. The tears raced again down my face as I decorated the tree but God must have such plans for us as the wait continues with another Christmas without our daughter. I am thankful for my family and friends who are so dear to us and provide love and support. Hopefully only one more Christmas after this year without her. The website moved 6 days this month and we are up to February 23, 2006. And mathematically we still calculate a referral around April 2010. There are roomers that the China Adoption Affairs workers are being sent out to the SWI Social Welfare Institutes aka the orphanages to help in getting more babies paperwork ready. Also supposively the orphanage adoption fee is going up to hopefully speed up the process but once again who really knows. More money to adopt not a problem, bring it on China if it speeds things up! I spoke with our agency and they really can not tell us anything we do not already know. So we wait and believe all of this is part of a grand plan for our lives. I have changed the first song on our blog to Thankful. Because that is all we can be in this time of our lives as we are blessed and thankful for the blessings upon us daily.
I want to wish all our friends and family a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as the best is yet to come.
God Bless....love and prayers to you and your families this holiday season,
