Closing the Door

[marydell]

A few days ago, we mailed a letter to Chinese Children Adoption International, requesting that they and the central adoption authority in China close our file.  We sent our initial application in February of 2006, and finished our dossier 9 months later.  We got got an official log-in-date (LID) in China of 12-11-2006, which was our 7-year wedding

And as my mother says - you don't know the end of the story till the end of the story.

There may be another story in my future, with another child in it, but this is the end of this story.

[girliejones]

That's I guess what I meant - this is the end of a chapter, not the story.

Oh, that sounds so hard. I am really sorry that you had to let that dream child go. I wish you peace and comfort.

[marydell]

Thank you.

He had such a great time bouncing on stuff--wouldn't go near the bouncy trampoline-track thingy, but loved playing on the soft ramp leading up to it.
