Speaking of down time . . . we're still waiting. I wish I could give y'all (and us) an approximate time frame for a referral, but I. Have. No. Clue. The Ministry of Justice in Bulgaria changed offices (and buildings if I'm correct), and so meetings stopped for around four weeks. Which, in turn, means referrals were delayed. Gotta love the domino effect. Things are pretty much up and running again, but Christmas break takes place in a couple weeks, and everything will, once again, shut down until the new year. Then it takes a while to get things going again. But there should be at least a few good months of movement before summer break. I'm hoping anyway.
The breaks and vacations are one of the toughest things to deal with. You know your child is there waiting for a home, and everytime a vacation rolls around everything essentially stops. Frustrating.
A lot of people ask how old Allison will be when we bring her home. We know she'll be somewhere between two and three, and we're figuring Andrew will be somewhere between six and seven (ugh . . . I can hardly believe that he's already five, and six and seven sound ridiculously old) so there will most likely be a four year age difference between the two of them. This is perfect to me. I know some parents want their kids close in age, but I kind of want some space between mine. To each his own, right?
So there you have it. An adoption update of sorts. Maybe, I'll come up with something creative and witty soon. Or maybe not . . . ;)
And just because, here's a picture of Andrew getting his hair cut. Which he absolutely hates in case you can't tell.
