I can't believe that it has been one month since my last post. Time seems to fly in all other aspects of our life than in the adoption part. :-) According to my calculations we are now 7th on the adoption waiting list for our agency's South Korea program. They only received one male referral in June, according to their website. At this rate I'm finding it hard to believe that we will have a referral by the end of summer, but that must mean that our little guy just isn't ready yet. Our social worker swears she doesn't have a crystal ball. Although, I think it should come with their profession. :-)
We've been doing a few things here and there to get ready. I dusted off the 50,000 Baby Names book. You'd think we'd be able to find a name in there! We most likely won't have a name for him until we see him. Right now we just call him Baby Brother or our Little Guy.
Yesterday Cydney and I went and picked out fabric for his quilt. I made one for Cydney when she was born and want to carry on that tradition. I found a nice pattern for an airplane quilt. Since it will be an airplane that inevitably brings him home, I was drawn to it.
When shopping the other day I found a cute pair of little shoes. Buying them made the whole idea of him a little more real. So there they sit on the kitchen counter, I can't bring myself to put them away yet. They're a nice symbol that he WILL be home someday to wear them.

Hello! We are also with Lifelink and I found your blog when I was searching for Korea adoption blogs. I wanted to let you know that a group of Lifelink families have started a Yahoo group to support each other in the wait. We would love for you to join too, if you are interested! Our group is called Lifelink_Waiters. If you are interested, just go to yahoo and click groups on the left side and do a search for Lifelink_Waiters. We have a few people who have recently received referrals and lots more who are still waiting. Hope to see you there!
