So I'm feeling a little bummed today, despite the fact that everything is starting. First off, I hate that I can't tell anyone, but secondly, I hate how far away it feels. It will likely be 12-18 months before I hold my little one. And that is the best case scenario. I really hope I find something to distract me from all the waiting we will be experiencing. I can already tell this is going to be difficult for me. I'm so impatient and we are on day #1 in the process. Yikes.
Q&A for the day... hehehe, I like that it rhymes.
Question:
Are you adopting because you want to be like the celebrities?
Answer:
umletmethinkNO! I saw this on another blog today and couldn't believe what I was seeing. People actually ask this? Wow. I don't know how I will respond to them. I didn't even know much about Angelina and Madonna's adoptions until I was already committed to the process. All I knew is that they had gone through some adoptions. Neither one of those women are celebrities that I am interested in and I don't aspire to be anything like either one of them. However, I admire their commitment to helping the orphans of our world and I hope they continue supporting areas that are devastated by poverty.
This is a video that I think everyone should watch.
