Rejoice!



My friend Jenni passed court for her precious baby girl. She got some updated pictures and I must say little "S" is a beauty queen in the making. I'm so happy for them, they waited for sooo long and soon they will be together forever.




CHI had 3 referrals this week...so far. That's great news! 2 infant girls and 1 little prince. Several families received court dates today...so we are progressing as an agency and individually. I pray that the referrals/court dates keep coming consistantly. Last week there were no referrals, I think that's because it was the Thanksgiving holiday and the agency offices were closed for a few days. I'm still hoping that my referral will come in by the end of the month. Someone said that the wait times are now 14-15 months. God only knows...I don't. I will stay the course. I must tell myself that and believe it. It's not easy...it's not, but I encourage myself and I look to my fellow adoption sojourners for strength. I know i'll soon be reporting my good news but until then I will rejoice with those who are rejoicing!

Hang in there Toni .... u must've heard it a million times over already ... but it'll come when you least expect it!!!! Keeping you in my prayers.

I'm still waiting for a court date ..... I don't know which ones harder: the waiting of a referral .... or the waiting of a court date .... at the moment, it seems unbearable .... but the good thing is that I got new pics of my little princess, and videos, opening up the gifts I sent her .... she looked sooo happy .... I must've seen the video maybe 80 times already, and still I get teary-eyed every time I look at it again.

So here's to both of us hanging in there: for both of us it'll come when we least expect it!!!
