Okay, maybe I was in total denial, I don't know, but now it looks as if we will be traveling to China in January or February 2007! Actually, it will probably be February 07, because we can't travel during the Chinese New Year, which I think is almost the entire month of January. This fact has "overshadowed" the joy of having our LID at the moment! I really believed we would be going to get Taryn in December! That was when I was just "guessing" at our LID-I guessed wrong! I was thinking the beginning of February (or hoping). The later day in February gave us another month-January or February OF NEXT YEAR!!!! This is upsetting for 2 reasons: 1. Our precious daughter will be waiting for us longer (and vise-versa), and I can barely stand the thought of her in the orphanage. 2. We do not get the tax credit money back until 2008's taxes! Believe me, that is a considerable amount towards her adoption-later than planned.
So, our date is February 23, 2005... There's not much else to say! Except, now when people ask me "when" it will happen I will have a more definite time frame! We should get our referral in December, so that will be a fun Christmas present!
Now, now I am starting to understand the "dreaded" wait I have heard other adoptive parents talk about! It somehow seems so much longer when you look at next year!
Okay, I am done "venting", we are that much closer to bringing her home!
