Pampered Pets

I feel the need to remind myself that even though this wait is difficult, it does not compare to the agony I went through trying to conceive and then waiting for our first adoption. My husband had a front and center seat to that circus and that is one ticket I'm sure he would never buy again. I took every ounce of mothering instinct inside of me that desperately needed an outlet and smothered my two dogs. I bought them sweaters, I bought them football jerseys, I crocheted sweaters for them for pete's sake! Of course even that was not enough and there were plenty of tears as well.

For those of you who are also adopting and have waited longer for TA (or LOA) or are waiting for your first child -- I feel for you. As hard as it is to wait for Alana, I know that others are struggling too. I sincerely hope that we are all united with our children very soon!
