Pick up your kids, people!

Pick up your kids, people!!!

I called the agency today and asked “what’s up?” and our caseworker said that basically the transition home is pretty full, and when the next wave of parents go and pick up their kids, there wil be more beds free, and then, supposedly, our children will appear in the transition home and we will get a referral.

So.  Pick up your kids, people!!!

[I hope you realize that this post is laden with sarcastic overtones: The only thing that families who have referrals want to do, most in the world, now, is pick up their kids.] 

 - Or more appropriately, I sure hope you all hear about your medicals, visas, and other travel necessesities soon.  I already hoped before, but now I am I am also selfishly motivated.  So I hope MORE.

Now at least I have some answer when people ask… “Any news on the adoption?”  I am glad that they ask, even if I don’t have anything more substantive to report than “the transition home is full.”  At least when people ask, I am reminded that eventually this all will actually happen and I will become a mommy.  Because, day to day, it doesn’t feel real anymore.

I was away for a couple days and couldn’t check my email.  I asked Jrock to do it, and he said “there won’t be any news anyway,” and I said “you’re probably right,” and left it until the next day. That didn’t stop me from buying a couple of bibs and a stove barrier-thingy at IKEA on the way home through Coquitlam, of course
