I wrote a post last night, but thought I misstated something, so I quickly took it down when it was brought to my attention. It turns out I was okay, but the post is lost so I will try to re-create it.
First, congratulations for your new referrals Kansas Family and Roth-Vinsons! Also, congratulations to Kelly at Snips and Snails! She and her husband are new foster parents to two boys!
The other thing I wanted to let my "blog buddies" know is that I am leaving. The blog world, that is. I spoke with my agency last week and I'm not expected to get a referral until around 18 months wait. (A long shot from the 6-9 month estimate when I signed with them. And I even have serious reservations about the 18 month estimate. I think it could easily be 24 months, but they'll just change their estimate once I reach 18 months.) Given that I'm six months into my wait, and therefore have around/at least a year left, I'm ending my blog. How many ways can I write "Still waiting..."? I created this blog to keep a journal of my child's adoption process, and then a way to share the goings-on of a new family. Since both of these will be a while, I need to put this on hold for a long while. Plus, it's too frustrating to say "Still waiting..." over and over again. I promise I'll be back. Probably with a new URL (thinking about starting my own website), but will update here when the time comes. I'll also keep reading and commenting! Hopefully, many of you will get referrals and/or travel soon! I truly appreciate your support over the last few months!
So, as my original post was titled...Now it's time to say goodbye.

I am so sorry about the increase in time. I will be thinking about you.
Awww, I know the news of an extended wait is just the worst! I'll be looking for updates from you a little further down the road. Sending good wishes your way.
I feel your pain Cara. I am hitting the 12 month mark and I was told 3-6. I completely understand the no more blogging thing. It really is hard to stay optimistic and continuosly think of things to say.
Good Luck!

I was wondering which agency you are with now and which one you switched from, I'm still trying to choose an agency.

Thanks for your help and sorry about your extended wait.
Hi! I do not live in Ukraine for a long time already but I know much about the situation there. All Ukrainians especially the smallest and most unprotected orphans are experiencing hard times now. I do my best to do something for them at least once a month. There is a town of Shpola in the heart of Ukraine, I am helping the local orphanage there. You can help as well. Here is the link
