One Year Forward, Two Years Back

Posts on this blog and been few and far between. I apologize for that, although I am afraid it will likely get worse before it is better.

Chinese international adoptions are even more delayed than when we started the process of adopting Eva. Well meaning friends told me that my initial outlook of three years was unrealistic because they would never let the wait get that long. Well, we are a year into the process and the wait predictions have extended even further to four to five years. So, literally, we have one year down and we have extended the wait two years beyond my three year prediction.

The bottom line is that Eva's adoption is many years away yet. We have discussed and researched other options and, at least right now, they are not right for us.

We are using this extra time to focus on Jada and enjoy her early childhood. These early years seem to pass so quickly.

Thanks for your continued love and support through out this process. We are thankful that we have Jada to help make the time pass more quickly.
