Wow, I can really relate to this right now. DH and I are almost 100% sure we want a sibling group so we've been looking at photo listings and are interested in a sibling group of three. But our home study won't be done until late May and we're pretty sure they'll be adopted by then. The waiting is emotionally draining and honestly, it's driving me crazy. I know, this is just the beginning. I'm not looking forward to all the waiting we're going to be doing down the road.
