Another month, another hope for a referral. It is coming out tomorrow night so if we get one we will hear on Tuesday. I will be away in Calgary for two days so Jason will hear first. I want to see her first but willing to give Jason the moment if it means we see a picture of Jaida this week. So hoping this is our month as I really want to have her home for Christmas.
We had a great family day volunteering at Ronald McDonald House. We cooked dinner for the families staying there. I have a friend who's daughter has a rare cancer and has had to stay at Ronald McDonald Houses in Halifax and Toronto since last fall. I think and pray for them everyday. I am so fortunate to have a healthy family so I thought this would be a good way to give back. I was talking to a lady who's grandson was born premature so she was staying there and very appreciative of us making dinner. As I was talking to her I mentioned we were in the process of adopting from China. She assumed we were adopting a girl because it was China and thought I was too perfect to be true-lol. I laughed and said I am sure my husband can share stories of me not perfect. Of course I am adopting a girl as I have three boys not because we are adopting from China and certainly don't feel like I am anything special wanting to adopt-I just want more children as it makes my life so much better. It was kinda funny because that short conversation reminds me of what I read and what the future holds-when to educate others regarding adoption in China (actually quicker to adopt a boy) and I am nothing special and know I will the lucky one when Jaida joins our family.
