How do I begin to articulate what I'm feeling. I'm not in a rut because I'm definitely not experiencing sadness or frustration or anything like that related to adoption. Perhaps I feel disconnected because I've just been so busy at work. Perhaps my disconnection is because I have been out of the loop with my adoption buddies via our Yahoo Discussion Group, Facebook, and Twitter.
or...Is it just that this journey is just such a long one that I feel like a kid in the back seat with her parent in a dialogue like this:
me: Are we there yet?
parent: No.
(few minutes later)
me: Are we there yet?
parent: No.
(few minutes later)
me: Are we there yet?
parent: No.
(few minutes later)
After a period of time, the child just stops asking. Maybe I've just stop asking, "Are we there yet?" in this land of the in-between. Ya know...the land where we aren't in the very beginning exciting stages of the adoption filled with lots of action and we're no where near our referral yet. So...I busy my hands to other things....and we wait. Hopefully, I'll snag some time soon so that I can get plugged in again soon.

Michelle~We are about to file our dossier, and we're sitting here waiting for USCIS approval. I've been thinking about our coming LONG wait, and have wondered how that will feel. Thanks for posting this! My prayer is that we will not lose passion for the plight of the orphan! Our babies are waiting and hoping for us...needing our prayers! Let's press the fight, sister!
amen. well said kelly!!!
