Remember when you were a kid and would dig in the backyard or sandbox? I thought if I would dig really hard, I could dig all the way to China. Of course, no matter how hard I'd dig, I'd never get to China. Sometimes this adoption journey feels like that. I totally neglected to report that referrals arrived last week. The CCAA matched dossiers logged in through November 21, 2005. This leaves 262 log-in days ahead of us. It's nice to see this number decreasing though the rate of decrease is not what I'd like to see! Each month that China matches less than a month's worth of log-ins makes puts us further from our child.
I tell friends and family we're probably at least a year away from being matched. I've been saying that for almost a year now. It's difficult to never be making progress. All day long I dig and dig, but the hole never gets deeper and the pile of dirt never grows.

The wait is hard! Just remember that the perfect little angel will be there for you in the end :)
Glad we have each other to wait with!!!
I have thought about the "dig a hole to China" thing so many times myself! I wish we could do something as productive as digging to make the wait shorter...
Good description of how the wait feels at times! Wish that I had words that could make it easier. I do know that it will be worth the wait!
Can I come through that hole too???
