Did you know, we are adopting???

Today marked 5 months on the long, long wait.
We have been in process since January 2011, with things to do and stuff and so on ... and we had a bumpy road to the actual waiting yet here we are.

5 months.

We went to our first support group session last week, and it was good.  It did not makes things better or easier, but it was good.  It was good to meet other people and forge connections.  It was good to talk to people that got it from the inside.  And then, there was a moment where you wondered, will they get theirs first?  It is a terrible feeling, but a real one.

I have been facing a lot of jealous feelings lately ... go figure.  I am trying to cut myself some slack as many of you have told me; it is not like I am on an easy street over here!  But, alas, I am trying to find some positiveness.

Something they told us in the session was to make sure our friends, family, and everyone we know knows that we are adopting!  I cannot imagine that you don't... but just in case, we are =)

They have told us it is usually a connection of a connection that brings a baby home ... so at this point we are wanting to make sure all of you know we are in this, we are home study approved and ready to go!  If you have any questions about us or our situation, we are an open book and all you have to do is ask.

xoxo.
