I get by with a little help from my friends!!
I have been thinking lately of all the things I am grateful for during this wait. #1 on that list is all the wonderful friends I have made. What a relief to have someone who totally gets how you are feeling!! I am not saying that my other friends don't understand but I guess I am just a little shy about telling them how I am feeling for fear that they won't have a clue about: checking your e-mails obsessively for any news, planning the next visit trip before you have even left your baby, discussing how incapable your agency is at showing any compassion that your adoption is taking Forever. Some days I am the one who is needing a shoulder to cry on and other days I am the one with my ear to the phone telling them it is all going to work out and that I understand their frustration. So, while the wait has been horrendous, I am trying to enjoy time with my boys and doing some of the things that will be impossible when Layla gets here. Life as we know it is going to change soon! Thank you to A. B. S. and D. for always being there for me!!

hugs to you my friend.
HAPPY TRAILS!! Who knew that our small town lives would have our family flying to opposite ends of the earth for our little miracles. I can't wait!!!! Stay safe and come home in time for our party on the 6th!!!
Love from your favorite,
Korean/Ethiopian/American Family!!
Wow--my sentiments exactly, Jolene. As interested and compassionate as my family and friends are, they just don't get it. You don't know (or maybe you do) how often I hear, "Honey, it's just like you're pregnant and waiting for him to be born." Bull. I have never given birth to a child, but I know that a pregnant woman doesn't spend every day of her nine months worried that her child will have bonded with another mother and suffer when he's taken away! You guys "get it," and I apprec`iate the support.
Praying for your PINK!
Sabrina
Awww, we LOVE you too, Jolene!!!
I hope you are with Layla as we speak...
Hugs and Love to both of you!
I'm here when you need me,
Love, Shana :)
