My dh and I are in the process of adopting and just found out we have to wait a little longer than we thought to bring our daughter home. We thought we would be going in September and it probably won't be until November  .
It's so hard to wait for ANY amount of time as she just keeps getting older and older and we just keep waiting and waiting. We know there is a reason for the delay and that God's timing is ALWAYS perfect. But that doesn't make the wait easier. Especially for her big brothers who can't wait to love her! 
If you remember, please say a prayer for us.

Lisa - you are in our prayers. We went through extensive delays in bringing our children home this past year so I am familiar with the rollarcoaster of emotions you may be experiencing. It is all worth it in the end!!! I will pray your daughter is in your arms soon. God Bless your family.

We will be praying for you.
I have a couple different friends who have adopted from China, so I know it's a long process. But, well worth it in the end!
God Bless,

If you'd like an update, please visit our blog as I just can't bring myself to type this mess again.
God bless you all!

Oh Lisa, I am sorry that you have to wait longer. You must be so anxious and excited to have her home. I will continue my prayers for your family and for Hannah.
