And the wait continues...

When we woke up this morning we anticipated knowing “something” by night’s end. This kind of day is the hardest part of the entire adoption experience. It is difficult not to have expectations about what a “big day” will bring and even more difficult to realize that the expectations you were trying to not have, you did indeed have, and that they were not met. So, the wait goes on…

It is amazing how you can manipulate the same 4 pictures, looking for something new, and just hope that he doesn’t change too much that by the time you see him you won’t be able to recognize him in a crowded orphanage. I think of him often and hope that he is being nourished well, cared for by loving hands, sleeping soundly and can feel the many thoughts that go out to him on any given day.

And the wait goes on….we hope for news tomorrow.
