The CCAA has processed LIDs up to the 15th of May. Our LID is May 16th. That means we wait for September. In another month we should be receiving a referral. We began our process to adopt Marisa in October of 2005. So, one more month to wait for news of her seems like a very short amount of time!
Since we've experienced one adoption, I have more of a concept of what to expect this time. But it still blows my mind to think that our daughter is half a world away. Someone else is taking care of her needs every day. God bless them for their kindness and care. My mother's heart aches knowing I can not be there for her right now. This part of the waiting is the hardest.
So, we're keeping busy as we wait for September. Last night I made a valance for the nursery. Mike is planning to hang it up for me today. I'm also thinking about redecorating Kieran's room since we will be moving his crib/toddler bed into Marisa's room. I'm wanting to give him a gift of a big boy room with an airplane theme. Now that I've posted it to the blog, I have to get it done!
