Happy Thanksgiving
The thing I am most thankful for is my family: My husband and my daughters, both of my parents, and my extended family. My husband and my two girls are my life, my heart. They are everything to me.
I am also very thankful that RK and I have good jobs, we have everything we need, and we have much of what we want. And as we sit down to a table with more food than we can possibly eat in one or two days, I’ll be thankful for our abundance of food.
I realize this holiday is supposed to remind me to be thankful for things like religious freedom, freedom from tyranny, etc. And I am thankful for those things, but I guess I also take them for granted a bit, too, because even though I realize those things are huge, it’s hard for me to put them at the top of my list.
On a more superficial-shallow-materialistic level I’m thankful the internet vendors are starting to get into the Black Friday thing, and that I can find great bargains in my pajamas at home without having to leave the house at four in the morning and then fight the crowds.
I will peek in a few times today and look to see if there are rumors in Europe, but for the most part I will not be online very much today.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it. And to everyone else, Happy Thursday.

Thankful for you this year RQ, (and last year, and the year b4….) as we have been on the edge of our seats since August. But, I will go out on a limb and encourage you to enjoy your day without worrying about us. And, tomorrow too, if you would like. THey will get here when they get here, and we will certainly be hoping for more information next week, but we can probably survive this weekend, if you choose to focus on your family, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday. Thank you for your service to this community! LID 3/29/06

We are thankful for our dtr, family, friends, RQ, and all the troops that allow us to enjoy the freedom of this great country. Without them we would not be able to be on this site chatting openingly.

Happy Thursday and Thanksgiving to you too, RQ! We really appreciate everything you do. You have made our wait so much better and not so stressful. We want you, RK, GG, and TT to please enjoy your Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the weekend and we look forward to hearing some good news next week! Thank you again for all you do! (P.S. My daughter and I are going to see “New Moon” again. ;o))

I know I’m going to shock some people with this comment. But what about the rumours out there saying that the new director is going to close the nsn adoption procedure in the near future? He apparently wants to try to stop child trafficking and give Chinese adoptive parents a chance!

dutchmomtobe,
Where did you hear this rumor, it is more specific than some of the other speculation floating around the internet. Did the source say if the new director plans to grandparent already logged in PAP’s?
