Last year on this day Matt and I filled out our application to begin the adoption process. At the time the whole process from start to finish was taking less than a year and we thought we would be parents by now or very close to the one year mark. It is becoming apparent to us that is no longer going to happen. The fact is with international adoption you have to be willing to accept the changes, because there are always changes, in the process, in the timelines, in your agency, with government rules. So, for now we are rolling with it, staying patient most days, and more positive than negative feelings. We know one day we will hold Tom and Jerry in our arms and the wait will melt away. We happily await the day our family is complete.
