The Adoption Option

My spot for thoughts, feelings, rambles, and updates as we journey through the adoption process. Highlights: Dossier arrived in Thailand ~ Sept 26, 2005; Approved ~ October, 2005; Matched ~ August, 2006; Referral received ~ January 2007; Traveled & Home ~ June, 2007; Finalized!! ~ December, 2007

Slow going

We are still waiting to hear that our dossier has been returned from Washington DC. It seems like it's been longer than 2 weeks but I guess not really - since it spent some time in Washington State first. Hopefully we'll have news soon. Otherewise there is not much to say. I've definatley taken a different approach to this "pregnancy" than my first one. I feel like we are expecting, but it is so much better than the first time around. There is very little anxiety (although we still have to be approved by Thailand which is a huge step) and mostly a lot of pride and excitment. I bought a small picture frame yesturday that matches one we have for Ian. I wanted to make sure that I had two, so the new baby would have the same one. Weird, but small preperations like that make me feel good. I had all these thoughts swirling around in my head, last night while laying in bed, but now none of them are coming to me. I should have known better and written them down, but alas I was all comfy and snuggled in. I'll know better next time.
