You have put into words a little bit of what all us "adoptive pregnant" moms feel. All the pain we keep in side with worry. A close co-worker said to me today when I reminded her we may get to travel in May, to pick up our child we had to leave behind in Kyrgyzstan (as you know my heart is breaking every hour on the hour with longing to hold her and love her) "Oh, I forgot about your situation..." Not that she meant to sound callous, but she doesn't get it. It just makes me feel like someone understands when I read your entry. I hope your girls are home soon and they are "delivered" safe and sound after only a little bit more labor.Margaret and Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00775862564546640204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-75682684186153298672008-03-30T00:19:00.000-06:002008-03-30T00:19:00.000-06:00What a beautiful story!

People may comment on how long the process is taking or other various difficulties but there isn't always the same tone of empathy. Maybe it's because they feel we entered into this voluntarily? And we could stop at any time? (As if, right?) <BR/><BR/>Or you get the other side. People respect/admire me because of what I am doing. And they say, "It's a shame this is so difficult..." None of which really validates any of my emotions. Not that I'm really looking for sympathy, per say. But this adoption process can be very lonely. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have the support of the online world. You're not alone it this uncertainty. It's just that we don't see each other face to face - but there are many of us who knows EXACTLY what you are going through.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021169041622431205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-9756860525445003622008-03-29T01:49:00.000-06:002008-03-29T01:49:00.000-06:00Keeping in my prayers the hope that your daughters...Keeping in my prayers the hope that your daughters - for surely that is what they are - will soon be united with you and their brothers.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711583593777948158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-45691918995060680152008-03-28T23:34:00.000-06:002008-03-28T23:34:00.000-06:00Cindy,I just have to thank you for your reflection...Cindy,<BR/><BR/>I just have to thank you for your reflections and wisdom.
