Hi! we are in the process of adopting a baby girl from Vietnam. Our dossier has been in Vietnam for 6 months and 3 days now, and we're thinking it could possibly be another 6 months before we get our referral! I know how hard/long the wait is, but I hope you see your little sister/brother very soon! Your new sibling will be very blessed to come into such a wonderful family.
I hope you get your referral soon!!! Thanks for your comment. It's been fun to read your blog and hear a "big sis's" point of view and also "wait" along with you and learn about the process. Thanks for all you share.
The wait is always hard! Your family was ahead of me at WHFC. I switched to CHSFS shortly after you did. I actually found my son on a waiting child list and am now waiting anxiously for travel. I think it is only slightly better than waiting for a referral. I hope you get your referral soon! Thanks for letting us watch your family's journey through your blog.
Hi "Big Sis" Susanna!! Thanks for visiting our blog. I like your blog! The waiting is so hard. It is all worth it though ---you'll see! I think the best thing to do during the wait is to read, read, read!!! Blogs, books, etc! Anything you can get your hands on about adoption -- I feel like it really does help to prepare you for the journey you're embarking on! A great book is "Black Baby White Hands" if you haven't read it yet! Hang in there with the waiting!!! Heather (Kyle & Owen's Mom) johnson-mccormickfamily.blogspot.com/
I am a fun-and-life-loving sixteen-year-old.
I love traveling (I've been to 27 countries and want to double that number!), Africa (I've been to Morocco, Kenya, and Ethiopia and desperately want to see more!) skiing, my video camera, horror movies, vanilla frosting, and my family. I hate pasta, roller coasters, and mean people. I'm looking forward (for the most part) to a busy junior year filled with work (not fun), SATs (also not fun), hard classes (REALLY not fun), friends, new experiences, challenges, and my expanding, very international (Norwegian/American/Ethiopian) family.
This blog documents the trials and tribulations of a teenager carrying out her duties as the Big Sis of two bio brothers (11 and 8) and a 2.5-year-old sister from Ethiopia (and hopefully more to come?)
