I will definitely be praying for your family during this time.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028523307681673724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671772122573006551.post-88272093562159484782010-03-28T11:53:55.962-07:002010-03-28T11:53:55.962-07:00Thanks for your encouragement, everyone!Thanks for your encouragement, everyone!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445335657900834577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671772122573006551.post-26211575995568278152010-03-28T10:58:30.497-07:002010-03-28T10:58:30.497-07:00Such a sweet post.

I can't WAIT until you get your referral and see her beautiful photo!

I was so anxious to start counting down those days and months to referral. In other words, I can understand how you are feeling... Hang in there!

Granted,...Elisabeth, I know *exactly* how you feel. Granted, this time around it's a little easier for us to handle the wait b/c we have Olive home (and I actually plan to post about that). But when we were waiting for Olive, I felt the EXACT same way. I'll have to send you the post I did about these emotions. It just got so frustrating that people didn't understand that they should be excited for us. And even people who KNEW we were adopting didn't really know how to deal with us, the wait, and our excitement. Too many people just don't understand.<br />So hang in there. It feels like an eternity now, and some days are way worse than others. But time will pass, you'll clear hurdles, and soon, your girl will be home :)Elizabeth Frickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369568911391997731noreply@blogger.com
