We are not alone

I have to thank my fellow Russian adoptive bloggers for reminding me of something very important: we are not alone.

While I find it so sad for all of us that we're waiting for court dates, I do find a sense of comfort in knowing that we, the two of us tucked into our home, really aren't alone. Other people went to Russia in December to meet their children and are still waiting, just like us. I am such a worrier that I was beginning to think there was something scary-wrong with our specific situation. But there's not.

I will try try try to remember the advice of many, that families have walked our path and now hardly remember it. I will try to believe that this endless procession of precious days without them is a short time in two girl's lives. I will attempt to attempt.

And the whole time I'll remember that others are doing the same, and while I don't like that any of us have to do it, I will feel better that we are not alone.
