The Shared List & Frankenstorm

Tonight...finally...on the 5th Monday of this LONG month...China will be updating the Shared List and our program coordinator will be looking to match us.  Except...tonight is also the night Frankenstorm (aka Hurricane Sandy) is making her way through our little part of the world.  We have been anxiously awaiting this day for over a month.  Our LID (the date our dossier was registered in China's system and we became eligible to be matched with a child) was ironically the same day as the shared list update last month.  But you don't find out your LID until a few days after the actual LID so we missed last month by just a couple days.  Now we are worried that power outages and loss of internet connection will prevent us from being matched this month.  Who knows??  My heart is a little heavy since we have been looking forward to this night for so long.  We are riding out the storm...staying up late waiting for "the call".  Maybe...just maybe...
