Well, while December seemed to drag on forever, in the lead up to the six month mark; January and the lead up to 'seven months' fairly seemed to whiz by. I mean it only seems like yesterday since I last posted but when I checked it has been a week (mind you during the week, at work, things seemed to drag but then that is the strange thing about work).
So seven months it is, today!
Oh and the perennial question - how much longer? I'm hoping we are more than a quarter of the way through (anything longer than that I refuse to think about), wishfully thinking that we are more than a third of the way through, but pretty much resigned that we aren't half way through.
To think when we adopted our first daughter that at this 'point' (7 months) we would have been half-way through - and at that time I was a complete nervous wreck, thinking how we would ever survive the stress to the end. Not to mention falling to pieces when the 'rumours' at that time suggested the wait might go to 18 months (which it never did). Oh, the luxury - 18 months! - this time round I'd happily take 18 months, if you could promise it is a certainty!

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle; but will never break. -Chinese proverb
My red thread led me to my first daughter and red thread continues to link me to her country of birth. And the desire to give something back to her country of birth grows. So come on the journey with me as we look for ways to assist the children still in the orphanages.
And pass the time while we wait for our second daughter to arrive!

About Me
- Magnolia's Friend
- My husband and I adopted our first daughter from China in 2003 and are ‘patiently’ waiting for her sister (LID June 2006). I have been involved in Chinese adoption activities and organisations since 2001. I have a strong interest in supporting children that remain in China. I have previously worked hard with other families to raise money for the new orphanage building at my daughter’s first home. We also sponsor 6 young girls and 2 young boys, from the area our daughter is from, to go to school – education is not free in China and girls from poor families, particularly in rural areas, may only get one or two years schooling without support. We'd love to sponsor more girls to get an education and a future.
