Daydreaming
I stepped into her room today
Knowing she's not there
This waiting for referral
Is more than one can bear
But taking in the moment
I sit down on the floor
And dream of her here with me
When waiting is no more
A little giggle fills the air
As I rub her feet
I place my hand upon her heart
To feel its every beat
A song is sung so very soft
Her eyes begin to close
She's meeting me in dream land
A place where love still grows
My vision now is very blurred
The tears stream down my cheeks
I've dreamed of her quite often
Throughout these past few weeks
Suddenly a sound is heard
The phone rings in the hall
Waking up I quickly pray
Please let it be "The Call"

A Poem I Wrote For Mei-Li
Daddy's Little Girl
You are in a country so far away
Yet I see you in my mind every single day
You are the little girl I dream of each night
And the first thing I think of at dawn's early light
I can't help but wonder if you are happy or sad
Are your caretakers nice, or do they make you mad
Do they feed you enough? Are you cold? Are you warm
Do they look after you and protect you from harm
Will you like me as your Daddy or will you want to go back
Am I what you deserve, or is there something I lack
One thing I can promise is that I will do my best
To remember each day that I am truly blessed
You are the missing piece in my puzzle of life
I was meant to have three children and a wonderful wife
So enter my life Mei-Li and you will see
Just how good of a Daddy that I can be
And when you are older, no matter what age you might be
Remember, you are always "Daddy's Little Girl" to me
Love, Daddy
You are in a country so far away
Yet I see you in my mind every single day
You are the little girl I dream of each night
And the first thing I think of at dawn's early light
I can't help but wonder if you are happy or sad
Are your caretakers nice, or do they make you mad
Do they feed you enough? Are you cold? Are you warm
Do they look after you and protect you from harm
Will you like me as your Daddy or will you want to go back
Am I what you deserve, or is there something I lack
One thing I can promise is that I will do my best
To remember each day that I am truly blessed
You are the missing piece in my puzzle of life
I was meant to have three children and a wonderful wife
So enter my life Mei-Li and you will see
Just how good of a Daddy that I can be
And when you are older, no matter what age you might be
Remember, you are always "Daddy's Little Girl" to me
Love, Daddy
Are we next?.......Who Knows
We have spent the last 22 months reading rumors and then seeing that they are wrong. Well today we have finally made it to the rumors. The latest is that the next batch is going to go to December 12th or 13th. Our LID is the 12th. Do we believe the rumor? We are trying not to, but we cannot help ourselves. We are just excited to be included in a rumor. If we are not in this batch then hopefully the next one. Wish us luck.
LID - 12-12-05
It is December 12, 2005 and we are officially logged in. We are told that the wait till referral is about 6 months from now. They were obviously mistaken.
November 22, 2005
Today we got our paperwork back from the courier. We put the dossier together, made copies and mailed the dossier.
November 14, 2005
Today we mailed all of our paperwork to a courier. She will take it to the Secretary of State and the Chinese Consulate Offices in Chicago. After that is finished, it all gets sent back to us.
