Well, we're still waiting and while we really haven't been waiting as long as we did one time in the past (when we specified gender...18months)......it seems my heart is really getting down this time around---and down because I know we're older, have children already in our home, have adopted several times, etc.
I know...I know....I should just be grateful for the babies we have and go from there. I am, believe me. But there's just that nagging feeling that we're not done yet. And, while we have some $$ to use, at the rate fees are increasing, I'm seeing more and more situations we just can't submit for. Yes, there are grants, and I've applied, but, economy as it is, it's not like we should be the 'first in line', KWIM?
I know there are less expensive situations around. I've seen them. Heck, we've been priviledged to have more than one. But, when others are adopting around you, having babies......I know we're not getting any younger.
(And no, I have no yearnings to have undergone pregnancy, so that's not a problem here.)
And so, while I'm usually the one that's trying to encourage others to hang on, I'm finding it pretty depressing at this time. That's not like me for the most part....(sigh)
Someone...anyone...give me a good ol' 'we-thought-we'd-never-do-this-again-and-just-when-we-thought-it-was-over-WOW! story, okay?
Thanks. I need it.
Sincerely,
Linny
