I am not sure what it is with adoption professionals. Yesterday I sent a list of questions that I feel are pretty basic and easy questions to answer. Some of them effect many decisions that I need to make right now before our life becomes extremely hectic. Some decisions effect where we will stay during the transition. But for some reason my e-mails are not returned. I would be worried but this is just a common phenomenon in the adoption world. Adoptive parents race around begging everyone around them to rush this piece of paper or this form, we fed-ex things over night and don't flinch at the cost of it any more. Yet the other end just leaves you hanging. I am trying to remember that good news travels slower than bad news. There is a part of me, that like I felt last time, that I will not be confident in this process until he is safely home with us.
I started off today pretty productivity. I managed to arrange my maternity leave and the people at the district office and my principal were both wonderful and thrilled for us. I am planning as of now to go back to work for the first week of school and then I will take up to six weeks off to help our family adjust the new way of life. Tomorrow Mom and I are going to go shopping for some of the basics. My sister found me a whole host of wonderful adoption picture books and hopefully I will get those bought and shipped to us before we leave.
Tomorrow is another big list day and I hope that I can stay focused. Right now it is insanely hot. I really love the heat, but only when I do not need to be productive. For now it is like I am swimming through molasses.
I am so excited for you all! Congrats - we look forward to meeting you newest addition!
