Six Months Ago Today
I can't believe that 6 months ago today, a judge in Russia said I could become a mother.
Imagine, 6 months ago today, I was wondering what my life was going to be like. I was wondering whether I could do this or not. I was wondering 'what will he eat?', 'when will he sleep?', 'what will he like and dislike?'. I was wondering whether he would like my dogs and my family (in that order). Above all else, I was wondering if I was doing the right thing. Now I know the answers to all of those things. Now I can tell you what my child's favorites are. I can tell you what he will eat and what he won't. I can tell you what makes him laugh and what makes him cry. I can pick my child's voice out from the crowd. 6 months ago, I was miserable. One of the happiest day of my life, and I was miserable because I was far from home and far from everything I knew and was comfortable with. And my life was going to be different from that point forward in ways I couldn't even begin to understand. And you know what, I would do it over again...in a heartbeat! I just wanted to acknowledge this 6 month anniversary of one of the most miserable and most wonderful days of my life. Six months ago today, my little Henry entered my life for forever and ever. You'll notice that my signature shows my adoption date as 11/16. I actually went to court on 11/4 but did not get my 10 days waived. However, I did get immediate custody of Henry.
