We are about to cross the finish line of the paper chase! We have some final documents to notarize and apostille and off it will go for translation! One step closer...each step brings more hope and excitment. Joe looks at this waiting time as the equivalent of a pregnancy. I agree, but the hard part is if we were pregnant we would be in control (somewhat) in that we would know exactly where our baby was and be in control of caring for him/her in utero. Having your baby in an orphanage brings an entirely different level of anxiety and worry over his level of care. I find tremendous inspiration in the stories of other families that have shared their journey on Yahoo groups and their own personal blogs. It is amazing how their little ones flourish once they are home!

I am so excited to have found your blogspot! Adopting a toddler has been the most rewarding experience for us! Young enough to bond to a mama and papa so quickly, but old enough to appreciate what having a mama and papa is all about! The room is BEAUTIFUL! I love the words of encouragement...we did something similar in our toy room. The room is precious, yet powerful at the same time. If you should have any questions along the way, please feel free to contact us. By no means are we experts, but we have had our children home for 6 months now, and we would love to offer any support we can while you wait.
