Patience is a Virtue

Geez, the adoption process is the best yoga one can do! Talk about practice in non-attachment, not being in control, patience, etc. This is the most discipline I've ever had to have. More than ever, I appreciate the support of family and friends and our extended adoptive families support. I know they have made it to the other side and understand the struggles. I hope that I can one day return the favor of an ear to listen and good counsel and support.

On the good front, we continue to hear such awesome reports on the babyhouse in Karaganda and from folks who have adopted toddlers which we may find ourselves doing. So these positive nuggets of info help me to move on with a positive attitude or as much as possible.

Christmas Time is Here

We're spending Christmas week @ Figure Eight Island with my family. Although we are having a great time, I must confess I had hoped we would be in Kaz at this time. Hopefully in January! It has been over two years since we began this process - feels like an eternity! I am ever grateful to the WPA families who offer words of encouragement and good advice for us. I hope I can be as helpful one day when we are on the otherside of the fence!
