Lisa, thanks for starting this thread, and thanks everyone for your words of encouragement.

I have been thinking the same things as you the past few days. Jesse is 2 1/2 and I have the idea in my head "well, he'll be 3 in Dec. He just has to be home before then, right?" But what if he isn't? Getting to know a pre-schooler is sooo different than getting to know an infant; you aren't there as their personality develops. I'm reading all about adopting older children now -- books I didn't think I would need.

I know that God has a plan; if I weren't certain of that I don't know how I would get through this. And most days that's all I can hang on to.

I guess I haven't really been helpful. But please know that you aren't alone. (((hugs)))
