7 month Stretch!

Abby 2 years ago! One of my favorite pics!
Well, another month has passed! Sometimes they go by fast and this was one of them. It's good to have the Holiday season in the middle of an adoption wait..........sometimes. Abby keeps us busy, as well as work and friends. I can only hope the rest of the wait will be the same. I don't want to say it isn't hard, but it is much easier having Abby with us. Waiting for her was so hard, but well worth it. Like my sister said the other day, good things come to those who wait! I can only agree! All in all we waited 10 years for Abby, we will wait what ever is needed for Shaun.
We are now 5/6 in line.............wow! That's sounds great doesn't it! Actually it is, but remember, that is just for a referral. We wait another 6-9 months after for travel. Waiting 6 weeks for Abby was hard, I can only imagine what lies ahead.
7 months into our wait for Abby, we got the call...........then in 6 weeks we had her in our arms.
So.............., everybody out there waiting with us! Stand up, it's the 7th month stretch!
We can do it!

Another milestone!!! 5/6 in line is great - it really could mean March for you - that's 2 1/2 months away!!! But definitely in 5 1/2 months, you'll have a referral!!! That's so great! I'm stretching with you as we hope and pray for your March referral and our June referral!

We are praying, praying, praying for you guys!! This is such a long process you're willing to take for this precious little boy you will soon hold in your arms! We are praying for Shawn, where ever he is right now that God will speed the journey for you and Kev to bring him home!!!

Still here Kathleen!It's hard to believe a year ago we were waiting through Christmas for first committee in Mongolia to respond. Now, here we are a year later you on the road to Thailand, me in waiting for China. Next year, we will have our boys with us forever!
Love, Karrie
