Process of getting a baby ready for matching
When a child is abandoned they must be taken to the police station.
1) The police report must be written up
2) The abandonment documentation must be prepared
3) For three months they try to find the birth family through finding ads
4) A birth certificate must be drawn up
5) A medical report must be completed
6) The orphanage must also prepare the daily schedule and developmental report for each child
All of this must take place before the baby is "paper ready" for adoption. Then they are matched with adopting parents. This is why the babies are 8 months and older before they are matched.

My wish for our baby.
I wish you always:
Happiness to fill your heart,
Wisdom to fill your mind,
And confidence in faith to fill your spirit.
May you live your life being your true, authentic self.

My thoughts.....
I'm starting to get excited about the adoption! It has been over a year since our paperwork got logged in. I never would have thought we would still be waiting a year latter to get our referral. Anyway, things are getting closer. There are only 5 weeks aheadof us.
I actually bought a couple of out-fits. I didn't know what size to buy, I think I bought 18 months. I began to work on the baby's room. The room is Megan's old room. The walls are yellow and there are pictures in blue frames on the walls. My friend, Kelli gave me "Hey, Diddle Diddle" bedding for the crib.
Last Saturday my friends, Debbie & Olivia came over and sewed the 100 quilt squares together. "Thank you ladies, I appreciate all your hard work. " I have been putting all of the Warm Wishes everyone sent me in a scrapbook. This baby is so lucky to have all of you in her life. She is already so blessed and doesn't even know it.
The way things have gone lately with referrals, I'm hoping we will get our referral the end of November and travel the end of January. YEA, it is getting closer
