our adoption process is moving forward!!!!! slowly, but surely. our PAIR docs are at the embassy in Addis Ababa! if you look back at the post i put up on jan. 1, we are in between step 3 and 4. yay!
a month ago, i wrote that i was going to stop blogging about this adoption. . . and i was doing my version of 'running away' when times get rough. that is what i do. when shit sucks, i hide from the world. i'm not proud of it, but that is how i process things. i prefer to figure out how i feel about things and what i want to do about it without 'everyone' else's input. i am an extreme introvert, especially when it comes to crisis situations.
but i strongly believe in not missing out on an opportunity to celebrate. and this is definitely an opportunity for celebration -- even if there is snow on the ground right now. so please celebrate with our little family this week. however it is you do it: drink champagne with breakfast, let your kids watch tv, book some plane tickets somewhere fun, dye your hair blue, get a tattoo. . . .
