counting days

you know, not since the dark days of fertility treatments and ovulation cycles have I pawed over our calendar so much. It's like I am destined to be a counter of days for my entire life!

Although the shift has moved...from the years of counting days of ovulation and weeks of gestation, to counting days between the milestones in the world of China adoption. As you can see by the sidebar we have our 'stats' posted, we compare notes with families on similar time lines and try to make sense of families that travelled before us. Trying to pull 'numbers' that make sense to us into some semblance of what the median is...but there is no median anymore, it seems there is a fissure in time, when all the numbers we used to rely on kind of got sucked into a wormhole and get thrown out to us in spits and spurts..not making sense like they used to...just making us nervous and obsessive...and sometimes grumpy...oh yes my friends, I can be grumpy!!! Mike can attest to that! But the reality is...we just want our children home, safe in our arms. Today is day 42 for us of waiting for LOA. We were told 60-90 days...so we may only be halfway there. But then there were some who waited 150 days...which is sad...and it makes me worry.

When will file reach review?

When will we be in the match room?

When will we get LOA

When will we travel?

When can we look at tickets, and itineraries?

When will Paisley be placed in our arms?

When will be able to call her ours...Forever?

When?

update:...sorry, Day 52, not 42...math skills bad!
