Life in this phase is weird. Did I dream doing all of the paperwork? It feels like we did the fingerprinting and things so long ago. It's just all so surreal.
The lady that helped us with the loan at the bank is so excited about us adopting - she asks everytime we see her "aren't your excited?" And everytime i say "not yet" --I've been waiting too long and I've learned not to get excited. I think once that baby is on the way and we have been picked I will get excited....I want to be thrilled and expectant and excited but I'm holding myself back. T's the same way....he's got a delayed emotion problem anyway. I kid him about when I called him in 1986 (we had just started dating) and told him his sister was going to have a baby. I was thrilled and barely knew her. He wasn't excited about it until he first held the baby in his arms and realized it was for real. It's the same for this situation. It's not real yet.
We are praying for the girl who is faceless and nameless. Praying for her health and health of the baby. Praying that she comes to know the love of Christ. Praying she makes her decision out of love and that she can be happy. It's a double edged sword. We pray for a baby - but that is a child that a mother must give up....
For now we wait............I hope it's not too long!

While you are waiting, you may as well learn how to link people to your side bar (LOL!). If you go into your dashboard, go to "change settings" and click on Template. There is the scary stuff that Blogger is really made of--I believe it's called HTML code. Anyway, just copy that format, inserting the info you want to link.
There's actually a line in there that says "add stuff to your side bar here, use this format"
Once finished, I always preview changes so that I can click on the links and make sure they work. It takes some playing around with, but it's pretty cool!
Good luck!
