So, we are waiting to adopt an older girl (over 5) through the foster care system. She will be our second. We have been waiting a month or two and have been told it will be a fast process this time due to our experience and blah blah blah.

I am an artist/designer/photographer and I make personalized Christmas cards every year. I get so excited about it, they are usually done by now. I always mail them out the day after Thanksgiving. But, now I am scared. I keep thinking that as soon as I go through all the effort and expense and probably even mail them out, our new child will arrive and feel left out of the family immediately. Also, this year my mom is asking for 8x10 family photographs for Christmas and I am also scared to start work on this for the same reason.

How lame a concern is that? Anyone else putting things off thinking the new one will arrive any day?
