Referrals were released yesterday for May 31-June 6th...(our date is August 25). It seems they are releasing about a weeks worth of referrals a month, if that keeps up we'll be lucky to bring Aislin home next year!!! It's very frustrating, it's a rough road knowing she's there and we are here and we can't bring her home. Trying to stay positive (though this post doesn't reflect that!) and we do know that according to what the CCAA says it won't keep going this slow, so things could change on a dime, next month they could start back to sending out a month at a time and we could be bringing her home in September. That'd be a great way to spend our third anniversary. We haven't started her room yet, and we've been holding off on buying her crib and stroller and toys and stuff, it'll only drive us crazy to have all of that and no baby...
Angie was here last week and brought Aislin the prettiest little baby blanket, so soft, it matches her crib bedding so it's absolutely perfect. John bought Aislin a little teddy bear that we are going to send to her in a care package prior to going to China, it's the cutest little thing and we can't wait until we can send it.
So that's all for now, nothing exciting, nothing new just a heavy feeling in our hearts.

Still nothing new....
Well here we wait, and we wait, and we wait to hear something...anything..
Apparently CCAA representatives are taking a trip to the US, hopefully once that happens in the next week or so, we'll know more about what is going on and why the delays. In the meantime, we continue to paint furniture, buy baby gates, and dream about how drastically our lives are going to change once we have a little one in the house again to love. Even as we sit on Saturday mornings and have our peaceful cup of coffee we think "man oh man, can't wait until we can't do this anymore!". John is really looking forward to reading to her at night, and watching Saturday morning cartoons snuggled on the couch, it's been a long time since his babies were little and so he is looking forward to doing it all again. John's daughter Angie gets married on July 29th, and we were so hoping to be home with Aislin by then so that she could meet her new sister and brother, and her Uncle and all kinds of other relatives that live in Calgary...but it appears that it isn't going to work out that way...but it will happen, just a little later than that. We are so fortunate to have such supportive family and friends. Everytime we talk to Angie or Kyle they ask about their baby sister, my parents are beside themselves anxiously waiting and John's family in Victoria, BC and Malta are always sending messages and calling to ask about when Aislin is coming. It's so nice to feel the love and support...so thanks everyone, it sure makes the waiting a little easier.
