Somehow, after the non-criminal certificates were mailed earlier this month, they disappeared in the mail. Who knows if they will ever turn up...so we went back today and obtained new letters, got them notarized (again), and mailed them (again). this time I requested a delivery receipt. I was still too cheap to pay $15 for express mail so we could track the letters. I figure that at the rate China is sending out referrals, we have SEVERAL months to get them this information. Referrals for April came out yesterday, and they only covered 7 days worth of requests. At this rate of a week a month, we will get our referral in October of 2007!!! Of course we hope and anticipate that they will speed back up, but like many things in life, there is no guarantee.
We will continue to rest in God's timing and handling of the situation. He alone knows the answer to all the whys, how long the wait will be, where Hannah is now, whether she is born or not, and knows exactly how we feel.

In the meantime, we are still working on the nursery, and saving up for our trip. Maybe it is a good thing that it is taking longer than we first expected...at least we have saved a little for the rest of the adoption fees and travel expenses. OK, so at least that is what I am telling myself. What I really would like is to quit having to wait... :o)
