We had such a nice, relaxing visit in Texas. It was good to get away and forget for a little while and although it feels a bit bigger and more painful now that we’re home, it’s good to be back in our house with our kitties. We haven’t heard anything new from the agency, but I’m guessing it could be a while. I know there are rescue families out there who have been active with them for months and have never heard anything. And we know that our child will find us somehow, we just hope it won’t be much longer. And while we would never select a child based on gender, it would be nice to have a little girl for the pink clothes and blankets I bought. We won’t know until the end of the month (after the billing cycle) if we’ll get any money back on the attorney’s retainer. It would be nice, but we’re certainly not holding our breath. One day at a time and someday, all of this will have just been part of our journey.

1/06 diagnosed with PCOSI Would Gather Children
Some would gather money along the path of life. Some would gather roses and rest from worldly strife, but I would gather children. From among the thorns of sin I would seek a curl and a gorgeous toothless grin. For money cannot enter in the land of endless day. And roses that are gathered soon will wilt along the way. But, oh, laughing children, as I cross the endless sea And gates swing wide in heaven I can take them in with me. ~AnonomousArchives
