Today marks our official 3 month anniversary of our CCAA LID. I am terribly excited!! I am not feeling so depressed anymore about this. I am not sure exactly what happened to snap me out of it. J helped me put things into perspective. Susie helped as well (big hugs to you girl!!). I am surrounded by such wonderful people - how did I get so lucky? I am married to the most wonderful man in the world. And I have been given the blessing of amazing friends. And, although I am fairly new to the adoption world and the world of blog - I have found such comfort in the online adoption community. There are blogs I read everyday that boost me up and make me laugh, occasionally they make me tear up (ok - completely bawl!)...There are so many of you who are waiting just like me who offer support and love. Most of you live hundreds of miles from me. And, if it weren't for the internet that can connect people across the miles, and this blasted wait...J and I would be doing this alone. I am excited that along this way of this wait I can get to know you all better and forge friendships that may last a lifetime! Here's to a new outlook on this wait.

Okay, first of all....I am so married to the most wonderful man, but I'll let it slide with you.
Second, Happy 3 months LID Anniversary!
Third, after meeting my "internet" blog world friends last weekend, I have a new appreciation for the wait. It has really brought a different twist to my life that I never could have anticipated.
Fourth, no matter how you slice it, dice it or reflect up on it, the wait just sucks.
Fifth, your not alone.
Sorry Tawni and Tracy....I got dibs on the most wonderful man, but Tawni you are so right about how wonderful it is to share this journey with others from all over the continent! It makes this wait so much better and more fun!
Tawni--congratulations on 3 months. Every day is a step closer to our daughters, even if we don't know the exact date of our meeting her for the first time. We just had our 3 month LID anniversary as well. I feel like I have lived about 5 months worth of life but alas, the calendar only says 3 months. I am glad that you are feeling better and have found support and camaraderie in the adoption blog world. I have discovered a different level of support from people who are going through international adoption that others who aren’t doing it can’t offer. Have a great weekend.
Congratulations! You made it through your first trimester!
Congratulations on making it 3 months. You are 1/4 of the way there so consider it a big milestone. The wait SUCKS!!! It's a rollercoaster ride that nobody will understand unless going through it. We are hoping for referral in the next batch - yipppeeee!!
