Life since referral

It has been over 2 weeks since we have gotten our referral of Paige Hsin Jung. We have completed her paperwork, and now we just wait. I just found out from my friend Jules (she got her referral 2 days before me), that we will not be seeing any updates this month. Even though our pictures and video are from September, we wont see an update until December around this time.

Life goes on and we manage to keep very busy with our 2 sons. Coleton has started basketball, which is one night per week, and not too time consuming. So this past week was a nice let down from all the craziness of football.

Today I had Coleton's first parent teacher conference for his 1st report card in third grade. He is an excellent student and has marks that are outstanding. We are so very proud of him. His teacher told me that he shared with her that we are adopting Paige. She says that he is concerned about things changing.Specifically that she will get in the way of his playing baseball etc. Of course we keep telling Coleton that she will be one of those kids that get dragged to all of his events.
In fact we joke, that the poor baby doesn't know what she is getting in for.. all those long days at the baseball fields, and long,cold nights at football, lacrosse fields, and gymasiums for basketball.

In fact Paige will be arriving right around the time baseball season starts.
That makes it sound so much closer.......

You know what, it does help with the wait to put it into words and timeframes like that! Things like imagining an extra Easter basket for baby or new Spring coats for both kiddos!
Both your sons will be GREAT big brothers and I think it is terrific that Coleton shared his thoughts with his teacher! Before you know it, Paige will be working hard to keep up with him at those sports events!
I'm sorry the wait for updates is so long & I can't wait to hear that you have a Hearing date scheduled!
Hugs,

I love seeing Paige's beautiful picture on the yahoo group! So cute! I'm so sorry you will have to wait for December for updates. That's hard. You just want to at least LOOK at your child. Can't wait to hear more good news! Sarah
