People who are adopting/have adopted internationally talk frequently about difficulty in the waiting and not knowing. The obsessive email checking and day dreaming of a child that is loved, but hasn't been met...
I honestly never really related (why would I?) and furthermore never expected myself to be there.
Well, much to my chagrin, I'm there. I'm checking my email too many times daily, getting chocked up when someone asks me how I'm doing and feeling desperate for more information on our boy. I have heard nothing since our referral in April and that's just kind of a bummer. I should hear something any day (hence the obsessive email checking) but until then, I wait patiently...or at least try :)
Our kids are SO excited for Noah to be home...they are constantly thinking of new fundraising ideas. Lately we have been selling donuts in a park on Sat mornings in our neighborhood. I love their enthusiasm and wanting to be a part of bringing their brother home. Violet took a picture of Noah to school last week as her "share." I love it.
Hopefully my next post will be more informative :)
