Just thinking

Just sitting thinking of my little one somewhere in Korea. I know that the baby should be born already and thinking that maybe the baby's birth month could be either May or June, possibly July if we do not get the referral into December. This will be weird seeing that so many of my family members have birthdays in December and around the winter time. Riley's birthday is Dec. 22, my father-in-law's is the 23rd and Andrew's is on X-mas day--not to mention a couple of cousins in December as well. Totall a nutty month! So will look forward to a different month and a much warmer month. The babies all seem to be well taken care of in Korea by foster families who take their jobs as foster parents very seriously! This is a plus. So I seem pretty confident that our baby is in good hands. Of course, I would much rather the baby be here with us now because feeling like we are already missing so much. But I know once we have the baby home, we will have all the time in the world to make up for all that we missed!

Usually once a month we try to attend the adoption waiting support group. This is where we families who are adopting meet at the agency and talk about how their wait is going, where they are in the process of waiting and sometimes we get to see babies who have come home into their families from various countries. I am looking forward to this month (which will be Tuesday) when there should be at least 3 families coming with their daughters home from China. Once families are home, they bring the babies to the meetings and stay for part of the meeting so that they can discuss their travel experience etc.--and life with a new baby. It is very heart warming and touching. Afterall--this is what you have waited for, for so long. Well keeping this rather short--very tired. Will write again tomorrow. Hoping this is OUR week!
