Clock Watching
Do you remember the waning days of the school year? The clock would tick off the minutes with glacerial speed. The second hand seemed to tick the seconds counter clockwise, passing time abnormal redundancy. That is the same feeling that Michelle and I are experiencing as we anticipate our call from Lifelink regarding our adoption from South Korea. We are at the top of the list! The last posted referral were from May 22. Normally referrals occur every three to four weeks. So as we get more and more questions from family and friends about the status our answers have gone from an upbeat, high-pitched “Any day!” to a low grunt of “any day now”
However, we are not deterred and are still of course very excited. Michelle has been staying current with other who have been traveling to Korea and China through various blogs. She and I have been watching one blog with a little guy adopted from Taiwan four months ago. It has been a lot of fun to see how they have grown in that short about of time and how much he enjoys eating vegetables. We also have been planning the nursery. The other day we went to check out cribs. There seems to be a lot of varrieance in price, quality and functionality. We are going to waiting for Michelle’s parents to vist to go crib shopping.
As a side note, I hope to begin posting more frequently as we anticipate that call.
