Our waiting is over....well almost

We have received our referral!!! We are overjoyed and it is somewhat surreal for us. She is a beautiful little girl and we can't wait to bring Maya home.

Waiting.....still waiting

I am definately not good at keeping up to date on this. Since the last entry we have gotten word that Vietnam is in the very beginning stages of talks, or at least meeting to discuss getting a time to start negotiations regarding adoptions. As far as China, we are just waiting for a referral. As we wait for the referral we are using this time to prepare our home a bit more. We are painting one of the girls' rooms, re-structuring the closet to accomodate more than one child, replacing carpet in that same room as well as our bedroom, and finishing up painting the remaining ceilings in the house that are in dire need of paint. It feels good to get this all done and get one step closer in the preparation for Maya and Ava.
