January--Month #4

January 13th was our 4 month "LID-versary". We ate Chinese food and talked about when we think Lili will be born. None of us thinks she has been born yet. Maybe not even conceived yet. I guess our line of thinking directly relates to the wait time for referral. If it was only taking 6 months to referral, we'd KNOW she's been born. Even if it was 12 months to referral, we'd be able to figure that she's been born or will be maybe this month. With the tentative wait time for us around 20-25 months, her parents may not even know each other yet!!! Not that it matters to us. She's alive in our hearts and that's what counts for us. No matter who she really, physically is, she's our Lili. We know that, and that's what's keeping us going. She does exist and we love her. We just have to keep waiting and one day we'll see her picture, hold her and get to know her. We cannot wait.
