what about you? are you in the process of adopting? waiting? what are your thoughts?
(side note: yesterday, i sat in-between two moms. one had a 3 month old baby in her arms while the other had a 10 month in her arms and one in her belly... i listened as they talked; i even asked questions; more mixed emotions... what is it like to have a baby move inside u? how awesome that must be! oh, but i could definitely do without all that other stuff they talked about- the nausea, tiredness, and pain... but how in many ways, i still yearn to rub my belly and think that something is growing inside of me... yeah, it was awkward, but those two gals are two of the coolest and it was a learning moment, i suppose.)

Dear Wendy,
You know that crazy ache/overwhelming sensation that just kinda creeps up on ya when you think of your daughter in Colombia? How the thoughts sometimes just come out of the blue. Sometimes I would actually have to put my hand on my heart. Sometimes the wait is so long it hurts. Sometimes the anticipation is so exciting.
Well its not that different when it happens at your belly.
I really think God gives that gift to moms. Adoption or other wise.
Just sayin'
Thinking and praying for ya'll.
We have been officially waiting for 29 months for a pair of siblings between 3 and 7. If you add in the 6 months of paperwork it is almost 3 years. I did well until this January, now I swing between anxiety and frustration, anticipation and fear. I want to plan and get everything ready but I am afraid to until we get a referral. And there is this overwhelming feeling of helplessness (sp?) and nothing can be done but continue to wait.
PS. The lord must have been reading my comment because the next day at got THE CALL. We have a referral for 2 sisters. God has blessed us and we are soooo happy!
