Lots to say but little report

It’s been awhile. Have you been anxiously awaiting news? Me too.

First the news – there has been another set of referrals since my last post. CCCWA (yeah, it did change) has matched waiting families through July 14, 2006.

It is me, or is it getting slower the closer I get?

The next referrals should show up at the end of September. The number of waiting families with LIDs between July 14, 2006 and my date of August 10, 2006 are pretty light. That’s no guarantee of faster progress but I’m hopeful.

Now some other observations - I let my 5-year LID anniversary come and go without comment. I didn’t have anything to say that I haven’t said before. And, I’m beginning to buy in to all manner of superstition when it comes to this situation. Maybe discussing it is bad luck?

Sometimes, I just have to have a baby ‘fix’. This is typically cured with a trip to T@rget, BRU, or some such. In the last month, I’ve purchased the stroller and car seat, along with a varied selection of stuff from my travel list. Ah, retail therapy!
