And so we wait, and wait........

Today is a warm day for the month of November. No snow yet, but it will likely arrive by the holiday season. Sam and I went for our daily walk in the park, Paul rode the subway to his office, our cat clawed the chairs in the kitchen - such excitement!!

The wait that we are enduring, that all adoptive parents (perhaps including Madonna) must endure, is very difficult. Today, we have been told that the CCAA (the Center for Adoption Affairs in China) has changed some of its policies. There is a possibility that one of these changes will affect our LID ( log-in date or the day that our file was officially registered in China). The end result may be that we won't receive our child's referral when the rest of our group does - which will hopefully be before Christmas. We may have to wait until January or perhaps February to receive our referral, and we won't be traveling with the families we have come to know. We have a very good agency, but even they seem to be in the dark as to any new changes. And so we wait, and so we pray, that we will meet our child, whoever that child may be , very soon.
