Two Years

As of today, that's how long our dossier has been logged in at the China Center for Adoption Affairs in Beijing.

That's also about how long we still have to wait before we receive Sarah's referral (at the very least).

I can look at the glass as half-empty (two years already, and still two more years to go). Or I can look at it as half-full (hooray! we're halfway there).

I'm making the conscious decision to be joyful today, to enjoy my life and family as it is today, and to "look to the future with hope" (the meaning of Hannah's Chinese name).

Besides, I am "Chinamama4", you know!
