Another Milestone

We have been waiting 150 days to be matched. I cannot believe this day has come. I know, you seen me write that before!! We are still hoping to hear some good news this month. I will Google a 180, but I PRAY I don't need to use it!!

In the last year, I have experienced many people who are in the same position as us. Some have been so patient, while others have been very anxious. I think I have been one of the patient ones, but I will admit that as the time draws on, and we get closer, I am becoming more impatient. I NEED GOOD NEWS. Babies have been matched on a weekly basis, so we HAVE to be getting close. I wish someone would tell us where we stand in line, but they won't. In many ways, I understand why, but it is hard.

I know people that thought 120 days was long. I used to, but not anymore! That was a month ago. I know from my experience conceiving our other children that I won't care once the day comes what it took to get here, but it is still hard. I am trying to continue to have faith, but life has been testing me lately.

People continue to ask us when we are going to Vietnam and if we have heard anything about the baby. One even commented to Elizabeth that the baby will be in college by the time we get it home! Elizabeth said that she told them, she knew that it takes a while. I reminded her that less than 18 months from start to finish isn't so bad, even though we NEVER thought it would take this long. I reminded her that people are waiting years longer than us to adopt a little girl from China. I know how hard it is to wait and I know that people are anxious to hear some good news from us, but no more than we are anxious to receive it!!

Hoping we have some very soon.
