We got in line with China back right after the first 1/2 month of referrals came thru...the beginning of the Great Slowdown. Not that we knew that, cause our shit agency didn't tell us crap...
Now, we've been in line, I just realized, with Taiwan just over a month...and we get a newsletter from our agency today...
Projected wait times for our program? Last newsletter: 10-12 months. This one? 12-18, conservatively. Whatever that means...
Yes, that's it folks, we are the whole problem with international IA...us wanting a few rughuggers. Sorry. Blame me. Throw shoes at me, but make sure they aren't tacky...
Famous last words you can laugh at later...
Right now, I'm ok with it. We had planned 24 months when we signed on, not realizing this program was initially that much faster. I had seen it creeping up, I was guessing 14 or 15. It just scares me a wwweeeeeee bit, cause I've learned it's always twice as bad as they say...
I would like to be there before 2010 is over. That's just me. I don't know why.
Are y'all done laughing at that "I'm ok" statement yet?
I'll also say that I was shocked that one month was gone. Last time, waiting for H, I was walking around my office whining that I wanted my baby by now. I'm thankful any part of this wait is going easier for me...
And y'all can laugh when I crash and start whining again, that I brought it on myself, cause I will, cause I have that 2010 thing in my head...it's just a question of when. I'm also humbled by so many friends still waiting for China. We waited 2 years, the wait just surpassed 3.
Right now, I'm still breathing. Still steady.

Maybe as a safeguard - just for the heck of it - lean toward 2011 so you won't have to go through what you did with China. If it happens sooner, then you'll be deliriously happy.
Looks like H had a lot of fun on Easter. She has a sweet, generous nature, sharing her eggs. So cute. :-D
