8 weeks

Dear JJ,

So, let me make this perfectly clear... your mama is NOT a very patient person. And when she knows that something is pending or looming ahead of her, she is EXCEEDINLY IMPATIENT. And I just want you to know that I have Now. Reached. Beyond. Exceedingly. Seriously.

Anyway... it's been a while since we sent you the care package. By now you know all about us. I hope you are looking at that photo album we sent you and looking at the picture book of your new country and New England area where you will be living.

We are going into the 10th week from the time we got the confirmation of pre-approval from China. We are now waiting for the Letter of Agreement. Every single week, we send an "Anything?" email to our Agency. The last thing we heard almost two weeks ago is that we have moved up another room and this is the room that they review for the LOA. THANK GOD! That is all I have to say. When they talk about a slow boat from China, they were NOT KIDDING!

Anyway, I cannot wait to get you home. I cannot wait to hug you and squeeze and love you to death. I cannot wait to fatten you up! And practice my Chinese with you.

Hmmm... I am sure I am looking more forward to that last one than you are! LOL!

Anyway... I wanted to check in and let you know that we are still thinking of you and where we are with the Agency and China process and to let you know that this SLOW MARCH is NOT MY CHOICE! In fact, I am getting ready to POKE. MY. EYES. OUT!

Of course, I won't do that.

As soon as we hear anything, we will let you know.
Until them, we love you very much and cannot wait for you to come home.
I remember your voice always - "how are you... RIGHT?"
I will NEVER EVER forget it.

Love,
Mama
