Waiting...

Waiting fr our referral. I almost don't want to post, or say or do anything, for fear of jinxing it. And the kids are ALL OVER THIS. They talk all the time about their sister who is coming. They tell friends, which has led to some interesting discussions in odd places, like the changing room at hockey, since although they all know kids who were adopted they just never think about it.

We are learning mandarin at a record pace, and if asking "what color is that?" "What is your name?" or What animal is that?" will help in China, we are all set. We can also tell people they have cute hats. In fact, if the hats are red, blue, green, yellow, orange or purple, we can tell them they have a cute ___ hat. I have a feeling that unless they speak very slowly, or are a panda bear hand puppet, we will not be able to understand anyone else at all.
