This weekend is our six month-a-versary of being on the list. On September 28th, 2008 Holt received our dossier and we officially went on the list at number 29. Of course we started this process 15 months ago but I'm not even going to let myself think about everything that went wrong with our homestudy. So anyway, we're going to celebrate a little because six months is a big deal!!
I really can't believe we made it this far. I remember mailing that package and thinking "It's happening"! I was so excited to finally really be waiting but at the same time I couldn't believe how much further we had to go. Now we've survived 6 months of it and sometimes it seems as though it flew by and other days I'm amazed the house is still standing and we're both still alive. For those of you not surviving an adoption, yes, it's been a bit stressful.
So for everyone who just started the process: As impossible as it seems, time will eventually pass.
And for everyone ahead of us: Let's get those late-late-late March referrals in and find out how much we've all moved up this line!
May the next six months bring each and every one of us closer to our children,

Congratulations. Six months is a big milemarker. Go celebrate (and not by packing!) You're absolutely right, here's to the next six months.
Congratulations. The waiting is excruciating. Not because of the varicose veins and back aches. But the sleepless nights, the indigestion, the pleading with God, "please let this be over."
I am so happy for you. One month closer to your little one.
Congratulations, up to the next mile stone!!
Hurray!! We are so excited for you both. Time may be going slow now but once you get your little bundle of joy in your arms it will all be worth it and before you know it you will be taking pictures of their first day of school, prom, and then their wedding!
We are so excited for you. I know the time has been going slow but it will all be worth it when you hold your little bundle of joy in your arms for the first time. And before you know it you will be taking pictures of them on their first day of school, then prom, and then their wedding. They grow up way too fast!
Hang in there!!!! In the not too distant future you will only vaguely remember the horrendous wait--- I promise!!!!
