Monday in China

Right now it is almost 9:00 am (Monday) in China ... this brings much anticipation for many folks in the international adoption community ... it is quite likely by tomorrow the faithful followers of RQ may know CCAA's latest cutoff date. For some ... eager anticipation of 'The Call' from their agencies, followed, a day or two later, by the UPS delivery of hundreds of babies! For the rest of us, however, begins the next count down ... how long before the next set of referrals AND best guesses for the next cut off date ... all scientifically calculated. Of course, we are no longer able to calculate with any measurable degree of accuracy any of these ... the only thing we CAN be sure of is uncertainty! Don't read anything into this ... sure I'm disappointed, but now I can begin to enjoy the feeling of being next ... right?! We ARE getting closer everyday and I am beginning to think about this little girl who really is out there somewhere in China, RIGHT NOW, waiting for her mom and dad. We can't wait to bring her home!
