Will this go on forever?????


I wish I had answers for myself and for everyone else. I have been getting a lot of questions lately on why we don't have our daughter yet. Is it me or is it so hard to explain? I feel like I am repeating myself but they still don't seem to get it. I even find myself irrated and I know that is not fair to them and I probably be sad if they didn't ask. I am of course busy but the time seems to just slowly tick along with regards to the adoption.
On a happier note our friends are leaving on Tuesday for Korea to pick up their son. It took them a long time too and then it just seemed to move so quickly. I am so happy for them and that they get to have him home for Christmas.

Happy 16 months. I know it's hard to actually be happy about it but... it's 16 months behind you and that much closer to your little girl!

So true! It is just so hard to explain to folks...but I get you and you don't even have to explain.

Sigh.

Happy 16th to you. And yes it is incredibly hard, especially with all the questions. When you see those you've not seen for a while and they knew "way back when" you started the adoption and assume you must have your baby by now ~ I honestly can't say it gets easier, just more routine I think. Trust me when I say I am hanging in there with you!!!

Wow, they get to leave this Tuesday - I can't believe it. I remember when we were both submitting paperwork at the same time and I thought for sure I'd have our little girl before they got their son - who knew. Many happy wishes for them.

Congrats on reaching 16 months. The wait is so hard. It's like living in a time warp where everything moves closer except our referral dates.

((hugs))

And...congrats to your friends! What an exciting time for them!
