I completely agree with the "have you heard anything yet"....I just think being there is great. Adoption is a rollercoaster ride. There are highs and lows. The highs are great and the lows are awful. The waiting is so tough. It just seems like it is never going to end. We hurry up to wait. Sometimes the waiting is unbearable and thats when you can listen.

Also for my shower, my family all brought donations for the orphanage. Because money is tight, that helped so much. If you are crafty, gifts also have to be brought to the orphanage caregivers, facilitators, driver, etc....anything to offset the cost is so helpful!

It sounds like you are already a great friend!!!
