We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09

I'm waiting on the edge of my seat...... I've heard that the referrals have started to roll in, BUT, my agency usually tells us the cutoff date and they've yet to do this........ and this worries me. I am praying that all of February is gone, AND MARCH IS FINALLY UP............ O H PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE !!

This would truly be the best end to an upsetting year......:)
