I got up early to check if there was any news on RQ... NADA, so I went back to bed. What a difference a few more hours make in this wild ride of IA. People are getting calls!!!
Thankfully my agency directors should be back in town today. Unfortunately, they will not get the package for a few more days.....
- DHL does not deliver to their area.
- DHL will deliver to Las Vegas.
- Someone in LV will put the referrals into a certified package and MAIL vis US Postal.
- Once it is delivered, THEN I WILL GET THE CALL!!!
I am not expecting the call until MONDAY. I will try to relax and enjoy all the cute babies of others.
So my next post will be TATE!!!!

I've been here at least 100 times tonight...hoping that you might get some info. tomorrow?! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...
Lisa, I can't wait an entire weekend without a post. Do you suppose you can compromise and post current pictures of the nursery on Tate's Kingdom?
The patience of a saint, you have.
Feel better soon (flu). Thinking of you this weekend. Hope you have some energy to celebrate your impending motherhood!

OMG, Lisa, I can't wait to see Tate's face after all this time. She is going to be beautiful and she has NO clue how loved she is already.

SHUT! UP! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HER!!!! (yes, I am screaming!) Congratulations!!!!!!!!
I'm just popping in to say that I'm thinking about you this weeekend and the excitement you must feel after such a long wait!!! It kind of looks like you might be receiving a Jiangxi baby, huh???? I'm so excited for you and can't wait until Monday!!!
Very excited for you!
YAHOOOOO!!! Can't wait to see YOUR precious daughters face!!!
Oh gosh - you are one patient woman :) Can't wait for the next post!!!!
Okay Lisa, it's Sunday night and I sure am hoping that you are feeling much better. While you have been laying in bed I hope you have been planning your MONDAY!!! It's not far off now. I know how amazing this moment is going to be and I sure can't wait to see the first glimpse of Tate. I will be at work tomorrow, so I will be freaking out between each surgery running for the computer to see if the referral has come yet. I couldn't be more happy for anyone as I am for you. You are going to be the best Mom (yes, Mom that is you!!!) BTW, thanks for sharing your most precious baby with me (sorry Mesa you know I love you too!)
I will be going to your sight frequently on Monday for any late breaking... who care what the work policy is on going to blogs on the web! This is important stuff.
Hang in there Lisa!
I live in Salt Lake also and had the misfortune of having the same agency you have. Luckily for us, we were able to hang on to the amazing Teri as facilitator through the end of our adoption (even though she had left the agency). We brought our beautiful daughter home in July of 2006. No matter how frustrating our experience was with the agency, I know that it was working with them that brought us to her. I can't wait to see your new baby! Best Wishes, Jackie :)
I am so happy for you and I hope MONDAY is your day!!!
Hoping you get THAT call this morning!!! I'm at the edge of my seat!
Just woke up, came to check. Nothing yet.... I'm so excited for YOU!
Checking in from Texas on you! My mom and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your precious Tate! Hang in there Momma, you're little girl will find you soon!
It's Monday! This is your DAY! Just checking in to see if you've heard anything yet. Can't wait to see pics of your precious daughter.
been stalking your blog for some time. cant wait to see that referral!
SOOOOOOOOOON!!! It's 12:11 here which is close to 1:00! Can you ask your agency to work on our time rather than Central???
Giddy with excitement for you!!!
stalking, stalking, waiting, waiting! Anything yet?
I've been checking and checking and checking. I even checked over the weekend 'just in case'.
Thinking of you....
