Adoption Update

How old is Mary Joyce, now? I'm sorry if this has already been said, if it has, I missed it! That's exciting, not long now!

We don't know yet. That is part of what we will learn from the referral. Best guess would be somewhere between 8 months and a year when she comes home in September. (China is a country where adoptive families are matched with a child, and the matching is done fairly late in the process. Some countries, like Guatemala, match sooner, but the wait is longer. In some countries, you get to choose the child. In China, you only get to choose if you are adopting a waiting (special needs) child, which we are not doing this time.)
