this december is not so merry...

got some hard news this week.

apparently, the "living in china expediteds" were not given referrals (assigned babies) this month. this makes the 4th month this year that we have been skipped.

where we are in the process:
we are logged in for june 20, 2007. at present april 2007 referrals are next in line...

we don't expect much in the way of referrals for january or february 2009 as there is usually little progress on this side of the ocean during new year & chinese new year.

naturally, this most recent delay takes the merry out of the season - but it does help us to keep the focus where it really belongs - on a baby named Jesus.

looking forward to celebrating his birth this CHRISTmas season while holding on to hope for our own miracle baby in 2009!
