6 Months LID

Well, we've hit the 6 month mark being LID. It's kind of funny how distracted I get and it's not until I see the ticker at the top of my blog that I'm reminded how long it's been. Most people pay more attention than I do to that. I guess part of me doesn't want the constant reminder as to how long we could potentially wait if we don't find a WC. This is a little deja vu and makes me think that I've said this in an older post.

I remember when we decided to start this journey in summer of 2005 and were told that the wait was 6-8 months. Then once we officially started the process and paperwork it had jumped up to 8-10. By the time our dossier was sent to China it was 12-14 months. And now we're at 18-20 for current families. They always say hindsight is 20/20. I had a discussion with Lane in May when the last batch of referrals came out and said, had we just gotten our paperwork done while we were still living in California and had the homestudy redone once we moved, we'd have a referral by now. But then Lane reminds me that our son was 18 months at the time and were we ready for another child then. This also may have been discussed in a previous post. I apologize if I'm repeating myself. Maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better.
