This is incredibly frustrating - in early August, we were told we'd get the letter from China "in three weeks" and still nothing. It's like the emotional roller-coaster we were on when we adopted Harry five years ago, with ups and down, twists and turns.
Harry, for his part, loves roller coasters. When we went to Six Flags Wild Safari this past Sunday, we enjoyed the animals and our car survived an ostrich trying to eat it.
Harry, of course, only had eyes for Nitro, a coaster that goes about two hundred feet straight up and two hundred feet straight down. Just looking at it made our stomachs whimper in terror. Proving we are old fogies, Jacquie and I steadfastly refuse to go anywhere near the thing, and make it very clear that he will go on it only when he's big enough to go on by himself.
In the meantime, Xiao-Ling's room continues to take shape. Harry and I built her bookshelf and began stocking it with overflow books from the shelf in his room. We're looking for a dresser and desk and will get sheets for her bed as soon as we get the word from China - whenever that is.
More as it develops...
