15 Months

Waiting 15 months today (insert the sound of a sigh)  I know we were quoted 20 months but I really just thought they way things were looking at the beginning of the year we would have had our referral by now.  I guess that is the thing about adoption, it is always changing and unpredictable.  

Things are still moving, in fact our agency just got 3 new referrals (and they skipped us twice again by giving referrals to those with HSTK dates after ours)  

I know, I know, I am waiting for MY baby, God has the perfect baby picked out for our family but sometimes the waiting just SUCKS! 

I am hoping this 3 referrals every other month continues....but Korea is moving their capital out of Seoul to a neighboring city in December and this move could cause a major delay with the Ministry of Child welfare while they relocate.  This is a major move 2.5 hours through the city.   They have already said to expect EPs to slow down and when EPs slow down....so do referrals.

On a brighter side Jeff and I were shopping for some new furniture and this little treasure was sitting right there in the furniture store for me. 

I have been bugging Jeff about buying me a rocking chair since this is my last baby to rock.   I saw it from afar and thought it looked smaller than normal rockers and would be perfect but also saw the big bold $800 so never moved in closer.  When we went to finalize our couches I walked right buy it and saw the $800 was crossed out and the clearance price was $199 YAY!!!!  The salesman said it had been there forever because it was too small for everyone.  It is a beautiful solid wood Kincaid piece that I'm excited to use one day and will be awesome to hand down to my kids as well.
