She explained to me that part of the slow down is due to more Russian citizens adopting children. This type of wait I am okay with because I really would love to know that most of the children in the orphanage are becoming part of a family. My time will come.
Things that I will due while I wait:
- Save more money
- Save more PTO time
- Finish my Baby quilt
- Finish my BSN
So even though I have to wait and I do hate to wait I will be getting things done. I am definitely in the getting things done mode. Oh I almost forgot Last week I had the good fortune to be able to buy a bunch of baby gear from Gerard's mother's friend. We got a stroller, highchair, booster seat, car seat and a pack n play. I figure these will all be good at least as a second for the grandparent's houses.
My mother and Gerard's parents will in the same town as I do so I imagine there will be many times when we will be at one of their homes. So it is nice to not have to pack the car for just a couple of hours. I am worried about how I will incorporate my family into my child's life without causing anymore damage to the child and without hurting anyone's feeling. This is a delicate balance and one I am not looking forward to having to overcome.

That's great that you were able to get all that gear from a friend!! Glad you liked your new coordinator.
I am going to try to get some of your great attitude! You are right, there is still so much to get done so I should take advantage of all this time. That is great that you got so much great stuff - You are definitely ready!
I am happy that you like your new coordinator. I think it will help so much to be comfortable with the person you are working with. We also made a list awhile back but have accomplished little of it. What can you do???
You have such a wonderful attitude. I hope you hear some good news soon.
How great that you were able to get all of those things?! Must feel real to have baby "stuff" around the house. I worry about the family thing, too. I think it's perfectly normal. Not sure there is a real solution, as I'm sure it's different for every family. My advice would be to educate your family about bonding issues and be honest. Hopefully they will understand.
