Today marks 3 years that we have been officially logged into the China adoption program. Three YEARS!!! If you would have told me three years ago at this time that I would still be without a daughter in 2009, I would have thought you were crazy. Maybe we are the crazy ones! I have a hard time seeing us with a Chinese daughter at this point. A family that has adopted from Ethiopia and is also waiting on China, just pulled out of China. When I asked what had finally made them decide to do that she said, "There are a lot more families willing to adopt a child from China than there are families willing to adopt a child from Africa." Sad, but true.

We're almost there too - can't believe how I have put it out of my mind! We haven't backed out YET...a part of my wants to finish what we've started..but the other part - well we'll decide in 6-8months or so..The need is REALLY much greater throughout Africa. Hope you guys are well!
Tough tough decisions guys - we know!!
This month marks 2 years (officially) for our China adoption (LID 9/17/07). Our 4 year old son has been home with us for 7 months (from Ethiopia). We don't have plans of dropping out of our China process, but if our China agency also did adoptions with Ethiopia, we would switch from China to Ethiopia...we are not only mentally but also financially tied to China.
