That aside, we learned this afternoon that the AAC did not meet yesterday as believed -- the chairwoman is in the States until early next week! Please pray for patience on our part, and pray that there wouldn't be any more delays as we need to clear this hurdle before our paperwork can be sent to the courts. THEN we will hopefully get a date at which point we can buy airline tickets!!!
Meanwhile, I have been throwing myself into getting Ellie's room ready for her. I'm having a super difficult time concentrating on anything that doesn't need my immediate attention and this helps me feel that I'm accomplishing some level of productivity. I hadn't felt any particular need to start that project before we got our referral. We knew there would be some time before we traveled to prepare the space for whomever we would be bringing into our family. We also didn't know how long such a room might sit empty, and whether to prepare it for a boy or a girl, or for one of what age... so we waited, which I don't think was necessarily a bad idea. It's been so fun to select things with her in mind.
Tonight we took Hannah out for supper in Lexington (she is visiting us until Tuesday) and did some shopping, buying some photo frames for the wall, a lamp, and a white 3x3 cube storage unit with pink fabric drawers that will probably hold toys and books and such. Nathan's assembling it now! It's fun to watch the room begin to transform from an office/guestroom to a little girl's place. It definitely helps make her feel more real.
Here's a photo of the finished unit and part of her room to date:
