Waiting for Cady is magical and at the same time frustrating. We know there's a little girl in China that's living her life the only way she knows how. She follows the routine given her, and accepts her meals and sleep time as they come. I think it's a blessing that she doesn't know there's anything different waiting for her. Without knowing there's anything else, she can feel comfort in the eyes of a kind nanny whom takes a moment to smile at her.
She's so close to stepping through to the other side, but not quite able to do it yet. As you all know, this wait is longer than expected. We were supposed to get our referral and see her picture this month, but now it seems the tide has changed. We might see her picture and get a referral next month, or perhaps January. It all depends on how many referrals are completed in December. We're hoping for December but preparing for January.
