And two days ago, we again enjoyed reminiscing about the first time, 8 years ago (hard to believe) we first saw our daughters little face. It was the date she was allocated to our family and we were given her photos.

*** Jasmine ***
This week has been an eventful week. Our oldest son is on a mission trip to Fiji for two weeks, helping in Villages etc, quite a huge deal for him and us. This week has been also about little miss Jasmine. We finally managed to have her birthday party, after waiting patiently for the movie to come out at the cinema. Lots of fun was had but all her little girlfriends.

Birthday Fun, and JUST LOTS of waiting............
Been a bit slack updating my blog lately, but since I am getting lots and lots of questions about what is happening with our adoption, I thought it was high time I wrote something :)
The good first:
In amongst all the sad parts of the last two months (loosing our boys), there have been very fun family times, and two birthdays.
Jasmine turned 9 and Jason....Well I'm not allowed to say.
We took the family up to Auckland for a long weekend to have some birthday fun, at Rainbows End and the Zoo etc. We are still tired, :)
ADOPTION:
Waiting....... is the word that best describes how that is going. We are finding it really hard to understand why it is taking so long for us to receive another referral from Russia.
We have three friends who lost children after their first trips and received referrals the day after, so for us waiting this long seems excessive.
We are aware there are children there that appear to match our profile. Is it really hard, not being told anything, and not having any idea what is going on.
So the whole situation is pretty sad and disheartening for our family. We were so looking forward to adopting again.
There was an update of 'our boys' on the internet this week with their new family, which is so hard to see. That would have been us home with them, but instead we are still in this process with no answers and no child.
So all in all we know as much as you .. nothing. I so hope we have some good news soon. It is 7 months since our first trip to Russia.
