i haven't posted much. there isn't much to post about adoption. we are in waiting mode. the wait is longer than anticipated. we were told 12-18 months from the time we submitted our application to the time we'd be bringing a child home. it isn't going to be anywhere near that time. our agency has completely given up on timelines at this point, and the information they have for us is minimal at best. adoption isn't supposed to be easy; i get that. we're in it for the long haul, and we've surrendered our hearts to the unknown, which is insanely difficult. adoption is born from loss; i get that too. we absolutely want to know without a doubt that any child we adopt is truly in need of a home and everything is ethical and legitimate. that doesn't mean it isn't hard. that doesn't mean the seemingly endless wait comes with a light at the end of the tunnel. it may not, after all. so that's why i haven't really posted much. it is however, no excuse for not posting about our fantastic october fun times. i'll get to that soon. the only excuse i can offer is a crazy busy work schedule and tons of busy kid stuff. one of these days i'll have a spare minute...
