Comments on: About Chrissi Wright http://chrissiwright.com Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:53:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Rachel http://chrissiwright.com/about/#comment-199 Rachel Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:01:10 +0000 #comment-199 Your comment made me giggle. Out loud. In my very quiet office. I'm glad you didn't delete your comment. Probably the girl sitting outside of my office is realizing that I'm not actually working. I feel for you with a 20-month wait so far. Not gonna lie - I feel guilty somedays that we only waited 9.5 months for our referral. I don't think you're creepy. I did the same exact thing while dreaming about Ezekiel. Not gonna lie about this either - when you get the referral (funnest day EVER), the wait gets even harder. Because now you KNOW who your child is, but don't get to be with them. Your heart feels heavy and your mind is preoccupied at all times. But then you go to the beautiful Philippines and you bring home this child and it's scary. Very scary. And then suddenly they've been home for 14 months and you realize that it was all totally worth the heartache and the scariness. It's still always hard and still sometimes scary, but oh so totally worth it. I can tell by your comment and your blog that if we lived near each other, we'd be pals. I saw your Greg Boyd link. We went to his church for a while. I wish we lived close enough that we could still go. I like that guy. My sister lives in Portland, so I really love Oregon. She's usually trying to come up with new reasons for us to move out there. I like to ramble. If you couldn't tell. Your comment made me giggle. Out loud. In my very quiet office.
