Paperclips
Notwithstanding my last post, now that I have accepted my referral, I am counting the days until I go to Vietnam. Not clear how long it will take, but my fabulous case manager gave me the helpful advice to place the number of paperclips that represents the average number of days it typically takes from referral to travel in my province (plus a big buffer) and to move one paperclip per day to a separate pile. While I do have many many more paperclips on the waiting side, I do already have some in the other pile. Somehow I find it kind of comforting to be able to visualize it this way.

That’s a really good idea! It’s a fun way to “watch” the time go by! I hope the wait for travel is speedy! I know you must be really anxious for your little one to feel all of the love you have for him.
How many are left now? You’ve got to be running out.
