So the breeze in the air? Rumors that this match, expected to be revealed next week, could be finishing up August '06. That means next are September referrals, showing up in April. Can it be true? Can it really be happening? We are September 12th. Twelve days, twelve marbles, twelve paper links, away from a photo of our daughter, Zane's sister, their granddaughter. Will it be in June? In July? Could a blessing of a big batch bring it in May? Whichever it may be, it is coming. The breeze is starting to fill my sails, causing motion, emotion. The next three or four months will be tough and exciting. There is so much to do, so many things to fear, changes that will take place for so many people, especially for a small child who is somewhere literally half way around the world waiting for her family. I know now that she is alive, a strange concept I often have wondered about as we got closer, but farther away from a referral. So stay tuned and pray. The time is coming, it's almost here...can you feel the breeze?

There's a breeze in the air
When I named our blog "journey to Mia Jade", I had no idea what a journey it would be. It has been 6 years this month since our paperchase began to adopt from China; a process we expected to be 15 months. There has been little to celebrate regarding this adoption along the way - batch sizes that have halved in size over and over, batch sizes that went from 30 days per month to sometimes only 2 days, a month that took a year to complete referrals (March '06) and the realization that it was going to take 3, 4, then 5, and now 6 years complete. But we have continued to wait, mostly because my conviction that my daughter comes from China. We could have tried a second domestic adoption, Zane's went so perfectly, and maybe we should have, but I remember a wish, a whisper that my daughter comes from China.

My daughter's LID was 9/11/06 but 2 years ago she switched to SN and was referred a little girl who was 22 months old when she finally went to China and adopted her. She is such a blessing to our entire family and I feel things went exactly as they should have gone. I still follow RQ and have been so curious as to when she would have been matched if she had stayed with the program. I have no doubts that she did the perfect thing for her but I am so happy for you and others who are about to finally meet their child. My best wishes to you all as you continue this long long journey. At last, the blessing is in sight! LCN
So hope you are next; the long wait is terrible. We are holding our breath for you!

I hope that breeze turns into a mighty wind that whisks you away to your beautiful Mia quicker than you can possibly believe. I'm still praying for you ... and checking the RQ site daily with you in mind! Can't wait to celebrate with you!!!!
