A big sigh of relief for me..... My Dossier have made it through the review room!!!! I was so worried that they would have so many question on my Dossier.... SINGLE??? AGE (almost 50 in March)??? WEIGHT??? INCOME???? I guess everyone worries until they see that magicial posting on CCAA..... It really did not help that EVERY TIME I mentioned to my Mom something that might seem like I had worries, she jumped right on it and reinforced my doubts. She really doesn't know she does this and out of love she is just trying to protect me for having my heart broken.... She did this the whole time I was with my BoyToy or want to try something a little risky. I know that as parents, we fall back on how we were parented..... My Mom was such a loving and fun parent..... These are the things I will try to epitomize while falling back on my parenting of Tate.
Does anyone feel they are being missionaries for Adopting Chinese Children, especially the girls???? I feel like I am looking for people to join in on Adopting these little amazing girls. Just today, I was having a contractor come and bid on replacing my windows in the front room and dining rooms. I asked him about his family, three boys and no girls. I shared with him that I was in the process of adopting from China.... He was so interested because he has a good friend who is in the (also long) process of adopting from Vietnam. I asked him point blank if he was considering adopting a girl and that he really need a little daughter to round out all those boys. I am finding myself doing this way too much!!! I hope I am not offending people by suggesting this but it is my passion right now and I just want so many people to feel the love and the joy I am experiencing even before I hold my Tate. My Tate??? Do I sound possessive??? I will not possess Tate, it is just she is MY everything.... The SUN. The MOON. The STARS.
These are words from a favorite James Taylor song...
"Though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above,
You are my Universe, You (Tate) are my LOVE."

Congratulations for making it out of the review room!
I find that I do the same thing. Whenever I talk with people about the adoption, I am secretly hoping that they will want to do the same thing.
Happy days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad that piece is over for you! Now....we wait for your sweet match!

Hello Matching Room!!!!! YEEEEHAAAWWWWW!
Yay! We are TRHOUGH! Now we will sit in the matching room where we will gather dust & gain a few gray hairs...trying not to look every day at the calendar to see if it's TIME yet!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations!!! We were in CA visiting family when I snuck away to look at the RQ site. I sat there in front of the computer bawling like a baby just from the pure relief of it all. I told Matt that we were out of review and he said, 'What does that mean???' ARghh.
Yippee hurray...even if I am a bit late in reading the post...blame it on Maisie who doesn't like sharing me with the computer.
