Fourteen Months...

have come and gone since we were logged into China. As you all know by now predicting when we will bring our baby home has become impossible for a couple of reasons. The first being that doing straight statistical math puts us so far out from receiving our referral that we can't wrap our minds around that possibility. The second is that China uses "Chinese math" which, in relation to referrals, can only be calculated by China. Speculation and rumors abound but the truth is only China knows what is going on, what is causing the delays, and what or if they are planning to do anything to correct the situation. I think they will try to correct the situation but as with anything it will take time. Referrals did come in from some new orphanages this month and that is a good sign. Soooo... that being said we are still 14 months closer than we were before.

Now on to holiday shopping, they will be here in the blink of an eye...
