Vaughn in Nov - Did anyone else not realize how much Vaughn has grown up in the last six months?

Still waiting.

Hi Everyone,

I have to apologize about not posting more often. I find it very hard to come up with anything worthwhile to write about right now.

It has been almost 8 weeks since we got on the wait list. I think this is the first time it has not felt "real" during this process. Sometimes I feel like she will never come home. I talk about the adoption, but I don't really feel like she is out there. It's kind of weird. It felt more real during all of the paperwork.

So just as a reminder - as much to myself as to y'all... We are almost eight weeks in to our wait. Which means that we still have about another six and a half months to go. (According to Gladney's most recent estimations.) That means we will be coming up on Christmas before we receive our referral. Then it will take another 4-6 months before we are able to travel to bring her home. So it could easily be June before we travel.

Please continue to pray for:
- the health of our sweet baby girl
- peace for her birth mother
- patience for us

Thank you all for caring so much about us and our family and for sharing in this experience with us,

Alex
