Our journey to bring you home is lengthening more than we had anticipated. The rumours are that the wait, for expedited files, will grow from 13 months to 24 months. Families who have been waiting 18 months have not yet seen the face of their little one. This saddens my heart, not just for the families waiting, but for the children who also wait. I'd like to think that the time lines have increased because there are not as many babies in need of homes, and that the ones who need homes have found them in their own country. This would be a good thing, although I'm not totally convinced that this is the reason for the slowdown.
So we continue to wait. Claire is so excited to be a big sister, she talks about you all the time!! She is going to love teaching you, reading to you and showing you her favourite shopping stores. She can't wait for you to join us for "girls night out!" Evan loves you too and asks me often if you are o.k. and when the airplane will take us to China to bring you home. Alec is so proud to talk about you, and China with all his friends at school. He did his school speech this year on "China Adoption" and now he is doing a social studies project on "Modern China." He can't wait to meet you and travel with us to see your beautiful country. And of course, Daddy and I are anxiously waiting our turn; to see your beautiful face and smother you with hugs and kisses!!
Until then, be safe and brave my sweet one. I love you............................................
