Adoption madness

According to the new timelines from our adoption facilitator, we may be waiting up to 12 months for a referral. What that means for us is that we will have to change our referral request to reflect the gradual aging of our twins. I think triplets would be fun....but I don't think Tsega would do well with adding another child her age to our family.......I keep reminding myself to Be Anxious for nothing.....I know the One in control....

But.....it does cause a certain amount of preoccupation with my mind.....

The other day I put the lettuce in the freezer and the ice cream in the fridge.

This morning I was wandering around finishing my morning routine.....lost in thought about the whole adoption journey.....and realized that I had watered the artificial plants.

I'm hoping this lapse in memory leaves as soon as our referral arrives......in the meantime....I will keep my children entertained with my craziness.

Sorry to hear of the timelines getting longer....

Enjoyed hearing that I was not the only one that has mommy brain.... I laughed to the watering of the artificial plant....

You are right though, he is in control and your children will make their way to your heart no matter what...

Thinking of you and cannot wait to share your refferal happiness !

I love it! You make me laugh!!

I hear ya, I'm trying to figure out ways to keep my mind off this whole thing and have just come to realize, until I have my referral/court date/visa/ girls home, it's not going to happen :)

Hoping you don't have to wait nearly 12 months!!!!
