no news is, um, no news

it's certainly not good news. and there really isn't any specific news to report. i've talked with our adoption agency and have scoured the rumor mill on the e-boards. Apparently the Chinese official who signs the referrals is on a business trip in Sweden right now and is not home to sign our referral so it can get in the mail to us.

our agency said we should have them by the end of the month (good thing there's only 8 more days in the month) which matches up with the rumor mill. they say the referrals will be mailed on friday.

something better happen soon. the homestead is too stressful these days for my tastes.
