Thanks for your comments! Glad to have you on here. I love commiserating with other adoptive parents as it makes it all seem more reasonable somehow. :) Hey Vero! Thanks for your comments!

I need to brush up my writing skills, and take more time to become a good blogger (like you) :) Your comments are like a twin of my thoughts and feelings. We are at 14 months waiting time, and it's a mix of patiently waiting (on the Lord.... to finally make if happen now!) but also trusting that the right time wiil be good for us. Even if I have to go through the emotions of sudden teared-up eyes mixed with pure pleasure of kids around me or fear of no longer being able to just do what I want, for me, once the child arrives in our home. But finally, we can give more to him/her than if we had been younger and not yet experienced about what it means to be childless. It must have been amazing to spend 3 years in the PH. I wish I would have been in a different thought-place when I was younger, feels like I lost at least 15 years of time we could have spent more wisely. Like not 'enjoying' the riches of western life, but giving more love (which would have been more fulfilling!). On the other hand, now I know what that means, really. So the 2nd half will be SO different than the first. See you around! Vero Hey Chrissi,
