As we know, adoption wait times are unpredictable as well as preparatory. At the time we began our journey, I believe the wait times were estimated to be 12 – 18 months. We applied requesting 2 children (girl and boy) unrelated or sibling group up to the age of 4. November 2010 we renewed our I-800A and the wait continued. May 26, 2011 (18 months) came and went. It’s hard not to feel defeat as well as become restless and weary. Kay does a good job lifting spirits and showing me my strength while putting things into perspective. No matter where we are in the gamete of emotions - we continue to smile and enjoy life. J. We know our children are out there waiting for us, so we continue to pray for them as well as their care givers. We would like to think that we are all wishing on that same bright star and we will be together soon to make our dreams come true. 2011 is closed out as we have had wonderful holidays with friends and families – some of the best memories yet – we look forward to 2012.
Oh and since you're in TN, come to the Bulgarian Adoptive Families Reunion this year, with or without kids. It's in Cincinnati.
