A lady in our Yahoo group, Margaret Leigh, shared this with us and I think that it is so true and cute!
YOU MIGHT BE ADOPTING FROM CHINA IF...
...you know that I-600 & I-171 aren't highways.
...you've been expecting a baby for over 3 years.
...you understand that it's 2006 in some parts of the world.
...you've "paid for" 3 citizenships, but never brought anyone into the US.
...you know that waiting for China has nothing to do with Dillard's or dishes.
...your homestudy is followed by a number (i.e. #3 or #4).
...you never know how many days next month will have.
...you know that babies come in batches.
...you've been fingerprinted four times, but never committed a crime.
...you automatically assume everyone who is expecting is having a girl.
...you own new clothing in 3 little sizes for all 4 seasons (because you don't know when or how big).
...you look twice when you see a ladybug.
...you're more interested in what will happen in March 2006 than in March 2009.
...you know people who understand when you talk about 2 day months & 5 day months.
...your due date hasn't changed by days, but by years.
...you know who the Rumor Queen is...AND...you don't know who she is.
...you know that forecast doesn't have anything to do with the weather.
...you've waited so long, they rechecked your fingerprints to see if they changed.
...you are trying to understand why they're printing you again, so you study your own fingerprints and wonder if fingerprints grow wrinkles.
...when you speak of "that time of the month" you're talking about CCAA updates & referrals.
You might be adopting from China if you love someone, you've never met, with all of your heart.
And that's it in a nutshell!!!
