Good Luck

Just wanted to send some good wishes your way - from one "old timer" to another! (I, too, remember the daily doses of sweet Daria!)

Keep us posted!

Hey Shay! Here I check in after several weeks and see that you posted. No advise for you since we aren't going for #2, but best of luck with whatever you decide.

p.s. can you believe that they start Kindergarten next year? I am in shock!

Ahw...Go for it!

I say go for it! Hubby and I are also adopting again but from China. (although we may end up in Russia again because hubby doesn't meet one of the requirements.) We may be doing it all over together again! hehehe Wouldn't that be a hoot!

As for the fundraising...we just saved and saved. We've been back and forth for about two years and stashed money away "just in case" when everything was good.

Talk to you soon,

I remember it well too - who could forget. Waiting is absolutely the hardest thing. Horrible. And did we ever obsess over every detail, didn't we? Now I feel like we wait for a reason - for the child that is perfect for you and your family. I am thankful every day for our long and painful process. If it had been shorter, more efficient, etc. we wouldn't have Sean. And I can't imagine that life.

I will send pics! I swear, Daria looks so much more grown up. To me Sean looks like the same little guy. I suppose we all think that they aren't changing much since we are watching them grow.
