Who said that quote about “patience being a virtue”… blah blah blah? I despise that individual right now 🙂 Nevertheless, we have spent some quality time with the birth parents, as well as met the birth father’s family, and we are quite glad that we had the opportunity to do that. However, now that we covered all our bases here in the land that 1945 has remained, we are ready now…she has our permission for her water to break…please…now…. Continue reading

A Watched Pot Never Boils…
We’ve arrived in Indiana where the Birth Mother is currently 1cm dilated.

My Daughters Name is “hush hush”
Being pregnant is so quickly compared to the process of adoption. While similar to a certain degree in regards to the anticipation of a wee ones arrival, it is still so different. My sister is pregnant and so easily words of confidence that her child will be here, flow from her so easily. “when she arrives”, “I think I will buy her this”, etc. Such fortitude that her child will be here soon and all will be well. Sure, anything can happen. Nonetheless, more likely than not, everything will work out as expected. My confidence is a bit more…feigning. Continue reading
