Update

Hi everybody! I know it has been a while since my last post.

We are still waiting for Emma. It has been 16 months and 10 days from our log it date (that is the day that our paperwork was logged into the China Center of Adoption Affairs in China). So if the wait time does not increase we are looking at another 14 months. But nobody knows what will happen. There are rumors that the process will speed up after the Olympics, but there are also rumors that the wait time will continue to increase. Of course we are hoping for thing to speed up, but it will happen when it is supposed to.

Currently we are in the process of updating our paperwork. Our Social worker had to come to the house for an update visit. We have to go to the doctor again for another physical. We have to have our fingerprints redone, and several other things. I hope this will be the last time we have to do this. But if the wait keeps increasing we might have to do it one more time.

We have been working on Emma’s room lately. We changed our minds about the grass and the bamboo mural on the wall. We have put up 4 foot boards on the bottom of the wall and it will be painted white. The top will stay pink. It looks really good so far. I will post pictures when we finish painting. I just can’t wait to finish the painting and to get all of her furniture in the room. I know we still have a while before she gets here, but being able to look in there at her room will help keep me going.

Well that is all the news I have for now. I will try to write sooner next time.
