1001 Days since LID

It's now been 1001 days since the Chinese government recognized that they had recieved my paperwork for an adoption. And that's not counting the 9 months of waiting for a single's slot and doing paperwork that preceeded my log in date. And because referrals are still so slow in coming, it will likely be several more months before I get my referral. That's a really long time to wait.

I babysat last night for my friend's 3 year old daughter and son who were both born in China. Why does it make the wait harder? Seems like it should make me more sure the wait is worth it. I struggle to remember and believe that His timing is perfect....
