Whoever said no news is good news never waited to adopt a baby!

As you may have guessed by reading the title of this post, I still have NO NEWS :-( Someone recently told me about The Secret, aka the Law of Attraction. So, in spite of not knowing when the call will come, I am continuing to prepare as though it will happen sooner rather than later.

I am starting to get the room together, and I will post pictures soon. I am not painting it, though (sorry, Mom) for the following reasons: 1) I don't like to paint. 2) I like the color the room is now (khaki). And 3) there is always the SLIGHT chance the baby could end up being a girl, in which case robins egg blue paint would just not be cool. However, I am giving in to all the decorating peer pressure ordered some vinyl lettering off etsy (my new favorite, highly addictive website) and my friend Thomas gave me a really cool Pottery Barn Kids canvas painting that I will hang up.

Oh, and I do have some good news.I finally heard that ~ There were no changes to the Kaz adoption law. The bonding period remains 14 days and there are still no age restrictions. I am attending a teleconference on the courier option next week, I haven't made a decision on that yet, but I am leaning toward YES.

So anyway, congrats to my friends Karen and Susan who are BOTH in Kaz now adopting their little girls (to all those non-adopters out there, here is something to know. 90% of people who adopt internationally request girls). I am hanging out here, traveling a bit, and enjoying the quiet while I can :-) I am sure the end result will be "Worth the Wait." Happy Halloween everyone! Erin
