Woohoo!!!!! They did refer babies this month!

Just got word from our agency they are to March 14! It moved 6 days today May 21......we are still on track for July referral 2010!

Have a fabulous Memorial Day!

Mid May no referrals for this month to date

Well delay and obstacles seem to be upon us. There have been no referrrals this month and nothing annouced by the CCAA. However speculation is that they are holding referrals due to the swine flu. Who knows we are definitely in a holding pattern which means more delays and pushing us further back into summer 2010. When the SARS scare happened China held referrals. Once again another time to really let go and live my life. I have taken on Yoga to calm the spirit and strengthen my post surgery body that needs much toning, strengh and weightloss. So focusing on living life and leaving Jailyn's arrival in God's hands as we can do nothing to get her with us any quicker.

Pray for patience and that the CCAA will refer babies in June. In June our journey will be 3 1/2 years and waiting......

Love and hanging there!

May update

Well it has been a busy end of April travelling to Seattle to see Scott for a mini vacation. We spent 5 days in Seattle and saw the sights and Scott's place in Oak Harbor and the Navel Air Station. Then came back in time to run the Flying Pig Marathon Relay May 3 as TEAM THORNBURY! We did it! I wanted to run across the finish line and know we can win as a family at something that took time and dedication. It was tough and we did it faster than we imagined and wish we had trained a bit more. I wanted a win!!!! Since this adoption Process has been difficult I needed a personal win! When you set out to do something you never have before and accomplish it you break a belief in yourself barrier. It was a good day! I think I would like to do it again as a relay and really be able to train next time without being hurt with foot problems which have been a challenge through the whole training period.

So no real news accept the rumor is it will move possibly 6 days. Would love to see that as it would keep us at a referral in June 2010! Our adoption agency is working with us on the additional fees they feel they need to charge us since so much time has passed. From the Rumor Queen it appears there are any where from 1200-1500 people ahead of us for a healthy baby girl. We are closer but the wait continues.

I will post a picture of Katie and Mike, half of Team Thornbury with our medals, as they waited for me to cross the finish line! I had the best leg of the race! I got to cross the line!!!!

I'll do another post once we know how many days it is moving in May!

Have a Marvelous May!
