That's so hard -- writing about yourself and how you feel about various things related to your relationship, raising a child, etc. <BR/><BR/>You have complete permission to whack someone on the head with your profile if they say "just adopt"! Since starting this whole process, I have such a newfound understanding of how much work it is to prepare everything. <BR/><BR/>I wish you all the best - I'll keep checking in on you!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530698884712393184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-47034158381179080752008-10-27T09:52:00.000-04:002008-10-27T09:52:00.000-04:00So glad to have you back active in the Blogosphere...So glad to have you back active in the Blogosphere.

It's so much to handle that at times in my blogging "career" I had no idea what to write ... it's just overwhelming.<BR/><BR/>I had no idea it took so much work to adopt. You two are troopers, and I know what you mean about telling your husband's story ... I'd be afraid to tell mine. <BR/><BR/>Glad you surfaced and hope to whack em good with your 80 pg profile.Polly Gamwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338430066217324064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-25510436123389424482008-10-26T10:10:00.000-04:002008-10-26T10:10:00.000-04:00Wow, Karen!

Sometimes just processing it all in our heads is hard enough. <BR/><BR/>There is no "just" in adopting. Like you can just pop into the baby store down the street and pick one up. Full permission granted (not that you need it) to take out the next moron who suggests it.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry the paperwork and classes are so overwhelming. Those are some tough issues and questions to deal with. May each one bring you one step closer to your baby. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there and come let it out anytime, okay?
