Oh my goodness, oh my goodness....

I found out yesterday afternoon that some of the families that got their referrals the same day as we did, got their LOA on Monday. This means that they will be traveling in about 6 weeks. I panicked!!! I have got to get on the ball!!! This also DOESN'T necessarily mean that we are 'next'. Some families have been waiting for 4 months, and still don't have their LOA. It's heartbreaking for them. Especially now to see families that have received their LOA's so incredibly fast!! There just doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for how this whole process works. This entire time I've thought in my head we'd be traveling in mid November. Because of that, I'm TOTALLY not prepared. Their call made me aware that I really need to be prepared for whenever it will come. So today, I called my pediatrician...I'll be doing more paperwork this evening....printing off more packing lists...and just making sure everything is done that I need to have done. I just got in my Toddler Adoption book. I'll be diving into it tonight as well. I need my days to be about 36 hours long right now. Of course, I'm blogging right now, so I guess that shows my priorities. Although, I only have a few minutes, and none of that can be accomplished that fast, so.....

I'll keep you posted as soon as I know anything!

I know it! It's spurring me on as well, time to get that Travel Paperwork turned back in. :)

BTW, I love the name Jillian and wanted to name our daughter that so I could call her Jilly. :) Dh said No to Jilly, so I gave up Jillian and have Katie instead. :)
