DTC + 6 Months

As you can tell from the lack of updates to the blog, not much has happened since our dossier was sent to China. We continue to prepare and wait for word on Piper. In June we felt there was a chance we could receive a referral by the end of the year. Now as we near 2006, it looks like it could be May before the referral arrives. The wait has been long and hard, but at the same time, it is hard to believe that 6 months have already passed since we became DTC.

As we wait, Piper’s room continues to fill with clothes, books, and toys. We have even purchased a seat for her at Arrowhead for the 2006 Chiefs season. When a single seat next to ours became available this year we could not pass up the opportunity. So, at less than one year old, and having never been in the United States, let alone Kansas City, Piper has a seat at future Chiefs games waiting for her.

We wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to bringing more news of Piper in the months to come. Thank you all for your support and prayers as we wait for our word on our daughter.
