THE WAITING: July 15, 2011

Wow, this waiting is the hardest part! I've heard that said by others, true. Great news is that Mike got a job teaching high school science in Aurora, Colorado. This has meant a move for us. This also means that our profile is put on hold until we can get our new home inspection. We have an appointment for July 26th, so just a couple of weeks and then we should be back up and running. I wonder what makes some birthmothers who see our profile not want us, and what will make one particular birthmother decide we're the ones she wants to parent her baby. What is it about us that doesn't appeal to some, and what is it about us that will appeal to that one?

I've heard that the waiting period is the hardest. Our profile went up at the end of March. So, honestly, four months is not that long. They say the average wait time is 12 months. I've also heard that the waiting seems to take forever and go by so slowly. Then, all of sudden, you're chosen and things go very quickly.

Great news! My sister Holly is due with her third child July 25th, but it seems like she might go any day now. My sister-in-law Lisa is due in August. So fun to think of being an auntie to two more!

Well, back to homework and unpacking. Thank you everyone for your support through this process.
