I haven't even sta...Don't feel guilty - Celebrate. I haven't even started the process but am dying to do it, and I cheer every time someone has their gotcha day. When our 2nd daughter was in the ICU after heart surgery at 10 days old, we too quietly celebrated because we didn't want the other families to be upset. The other families weren't going to leave that week, or even worse, might leave without their little one. At one point our daughter was weaned off of yet another machine, and the lady watching her child next to us came over and sang a happy song to our child. She clapped Tarin's hands, and loved her up as any mom would, and then thanked me because she needed to celebrate something so she celebrated Tarin. You are going to get your child, and those of us that don't get to go any time soon are going to celebrate your family, and cheer from our computer chairs. Say it LOUD and PROUD - "I"M GETTING MY SON!"

Thank you for this post! I...Megan, you're precious! Thank you for this post! I am so excited for you. We've been waiting for Joel for only around 9 months...started the process in May and saw his picture in June...so I no reason to be down yet. I do have hard days...just waiting is so hard. But I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded....He's got this thing! He's not struggling with this! And so we will trust Him as we wait. <BR/><BR/>Don't feel guilty! I am thrilled that you are going and can't wait to "watch"!!!<BR/><BR/>Much love~Kamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07053868501883847321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7273212300539414362.post-49971296805039646032009-03-26T05:03:00.000-07:002009-03-26T05:03:00.000-07:00Megan,Don't feel guilty!! You probably know that ...Megan,<BR/>Don't feel guilty!! You probably know that whenever somebody gets their travel news, all those of us waiting feel so much excitement for them, and at the same time, a twinge of envy. That's not your fault. It's just how it goes with adoption. Waiting IS hard, but we don't have a choice! It's especially difficult when you've been holding your child's photo for nearly a year. <BR/><BR/>We are thrilled that your child will soon be home with mommy, daddy, sister, and brother! We want you to post! We want to share in your excitement! We want to see your journey, and how you are blessed by the newest addition to your family. We want to be able to pray for you, as you face new challenges of adjustment and travel! Keep us posted!!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for praying for us, and know that I am praying for YOU! :)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04086296845099744043noreply@blogger.com
