We did get our monthly update from our agency and our wait time has again increased by one month. It feels like we're walking on a treadmill, never getting any closer to the end. I've been working on updating paperwork but otherwise things are very uneventful.
One piece of advise we got early on in our adoption was to continue with normal life. It sounds very basic but when you start the process you're life gets thrust into a tornado. We were whirling with paperwork, phone calls, emails, appointments, etc. All the to-do's were overwhelming and then a heavy emotional blanket covered over the top of it all. There was no way for me to continue "life as normal" during the paperwork piece of our adoption but now that we're through that I understand the advice. Waiting is eased by diving into life as we've known it. This month "life as we know it" has been overly hectic. Our dog, Hailey, got the tip of her tail caught in the car door. It has been horrible trying to get it to heal. After two weeks we had to have it amputated. One more week and she'll get the stitches out. We didn't realized how difficult it would be to keep her from messing with it. Otherwise we're just diving into niece/nephews football and soccer games, church, friends, and work, work, and more work.
Thanks for keeping up with us even though the past several months have been uneventful! We appreciate you all so much!!!
