I Kissed An Angel....

Today I kissed an angel
I knew it from the start
The first time my angel smiled at me
I gave away my heart

Today I kissed an angel
this angel child of mine
Though not of my creation
my child by God's design

Today I kissed an angel
my heart is dancing wild,
A family by a miracle
blessed by this angel child.

Nine days left till our LID?????!!



February 26th, 2009
I’m hearing a rumor that the cut is March 6. It’s an R2 at this point. Hopefully we’ll get some other agencies verifying it soon and we can move it up.

How Much Longer????


I stepped into her room today
Knowing she’s not there
This waiting for referral
Is more than one can bear
But taking in the moment
I sit down on the floor
And dream of her here with me
When waiting is no more.
A little giggle fills the air
As I rub her feet
I place my hand upon her heart
To feel its every beat.
A song is sung so very soft
Her eyes begin to close
She’s meeting me in dream land
A place where love still grows.
My vision now is very blurred
The tears stream down my cheeks
I’ve dreamed of her quite often
Throughout these past few weeks.
Suddenly a sound is heard
The phone rings in the hall
Waking up I quickly pray
Please let it be “The Call”

No New Rumours to Report From Rumour Queen....

"February 25th, 2009
I don’t see anything new about the cut off this morning.
FWIW, I’m still seeing people who are hearing from their agency about things speeding up a little. No one is saying anything is going to speed up this month, more like it is on the horizon. If I had to guess, based on what has come to me, I’d guess that once (if) things pick up that they may do something in the range of 10 to 15 days at a time. It’s an educated guess, but still just a guess.
I will say it again, we’ve seen the “speed up rumors” before and then not seen them come to fruition. I worry about reporting them, because I don’t want to get hopes up if this is another of those times. But, it is coming from multiple agencies, and as I’ve said before, it feels different than it has in the past. Not something to bank on, just something to keep an eye on.
As for specific rumors about this batch… Nada.
Someone asked yesterday if it has ever been this quiet before. Yes, it has. Every five or six months it seems we have a month of almost total silence. "


Needless to say ~ Mike and I are getting very antsy (for lack of a better word, LOL!!)
We are so anxious to see how far we will get this month, getting very close now!!!

Chinese New Year Gathering

Today Cheryl and I attended a Chinese New Year get together with some families who have adopted from China.

We made some new friends and met all kinds of people who have successfully adopted little girls from China. Folks were very welcoming and had lots of good advice. I'm sure we'll be bugging some of them as our big day approaches, for more advice.

I forgot the camera, so I don't have any pictures to post. Some of the little girls were dressed in silk outfits which their parents purchased when in China, and they sure were sweet!

All the children were full of energy and kept their parents hopping...Cheryl and I can't wait! Next time we'll have to bring our niece Grace Marie to play with the other kids and burn off some of her energy.
