6 Months

6 months registered!  For some reason that seems like a milestone to me and I must say it has gone by rather quickly.  I know that the wait will be much longer, but 6 months is a nice chunk of time (chuck was the word of the day at our behavior team meeting at work today).  It seems like the topic of adoption has been coming up more often recently too.  It helps to remind me that God is in the driver's seat on this journey.  I prefer to be in control of things, but this is one area that I am enjoying the ride.  Yes, even the ups and downs.  Well, at least for right now :)  I continue to prepare myself for motherhood by reading books, learning more about Bulgaria, talking with friends who are parents and of course knitting little items and sweaters for my little girl.  Right now I am working on a purple stripped sweater (will post pics when it is done).

Great News

I found out this week that one of my friends has travel dates at the end of THIS month!  I am so excited for the family.  I know this family has been waiting for around 2 years.  They too have switched agencies and have had many ups and downs along the way.  I can't wait to celebrate with them when they meet their little girl.  I also have a good feeling that two other friends will be getting referrals soon.  Only time will tell......

In the mean time I continue to wait.  Over the holiday season I was reminded several times of all the things I want to do with my daughter.  The old traditions I want to share and the new traditions I want to start.  It made me a little sad, but nothing that I can't handle.  I am still trying to find someone who speaks Bulgarian so that I can learn the language better....so far no luck.
