I love my baby. I will be absolutely devastated if this falls apart. I have faith that it will work out even though for so many others around me in the adoption world, things are falling apart. I remember when the girls were born, I spent hours just staring at them. With T~, I remember [...]

I’ve been tagged by Kelli for the six words about me thing. Here they are:
1) Optimistic
2) Brave
3) Hopeful
4) Determined
5) Happy
6) Faithful
After reading some of the other descriptive words people used on their blogs, I feel a bit guilty for feeling the way I do. But I do feel that way. I just think it will work [...]
Just tidbits

I looked at maps the other night. Maps of where my baby is. Maps of where I am. I looked at airfare, I looked at hotel accomodations. I googled my baby’s orphanage name. Here are some interesting things I found:
Depending on how you calculate it, I am between 7800 and 8100 miles away from my baby right now

A Guiding Hand

I want to share with you what happened last night. Let me just start by saying that I’m not a very religious person. I rarely attend services at my church and I’m kind of shy about my faith. I am a strong believer though and have a relationship with God that is my own. I have beliefs that [...]
Nursery Sneak Peek

I’ve been working on the baby’s room here and there since I got my referral. Last weekend my friend, J~, helped me to get the tape up for the border I’m painting on (yes, my recent exboyfriend J~). He was a huge help moving furniture and brainstorming with me. Neither of us had done a border like [...]

I got my fingerprints renewed yesterday. Oh, and for those of you who read about my fiasco last time I went there, I didn’t lick my thumb this time. YUCK. I do have to say though, they got rid of the dirty old plastic number cards and now have clean, new laminated paper cards. They were a bit [...]

I have been reading blogs for so many months now. I am starting to see people who I have come to “know” through their blogs be told they will not make the cut-off. I feel so bad for them. I am so close to that dangerous edge myself that it really hits me. I don’t [...]

This weekend I started working on the baby’s [...]

Today, Monday, July 14, 2008 is the day I first laid eyes on my son. He is absolutely gorgeous. I was crying before I even saw his picture. All these months of waiting and worrying have finally turned into complete joy. I had sent an email prodding my agency for information earlier in the day. [...]
