We have a Waiting Thread made of pearls, that Mommy made. When we look at the thread, we think of little sister. Every month we may remove some more pearls from the thread. How many, we get to know every month when CCAA (an office in China) has said how many children are to be adopted this time. Every time our waiting thread becomes shorter.
First comes fall, and then winter and Christmas, and New Year, and then the time is getting near to when we will receive a letter about little sister!
