We've now been working on our adoption 15 months and been on the waitlist 9 months. Each month the average wait to to get a child referred to you has increased so we have increased from an eight month average wait time when we began to now an 18 month average wait time. Once we recieve our referral it is an average of 5 months before getting to bring our baby home. So realistically it doesn't look like we'll be getting our daughter next year, *Sigh*, but we're hopeful. You just never know what to expect in the world of adoption. We're in it for the long haul though so if we have to wait five years we'll do it. I've come to a place of peace with that.
Our holidays have been VERY fun. We've enjoyed both Daniels family and got to go to Missouri to be with my family for a weekend. We had the flu all of last week but feel blessed that we got it during the time we had off of work so that we had time to fully recover before jumping back into work. We've been hunting for a new vehicle since I totalled mine but still haven't found "the one". Daniel and I are both tight-wads so it may be awhile before we can find one that we agree is a good deal. We've had a very very blessed year and hope the next year treats everyone just as great!
