Lots of support is out there for those of us who are waiting for the placement of a child. This past Monday, Be and I met with a local group of about 30 couples and singles who are in the 'waiting room'. Several had just received notification of placement and were walking on the ceiling. Their trip to China would be scheduled in the next 6 weeks. The couple at our table had just started the process of adoption and was scheduled for their home study the following evening. And then ..... there were the folks just like us who were waiting to hear something ... anything ... about placement of their child.
A couple had returned from China about 6 months ago with their new daughter and spoke of some of the transitions, both on the part of the new arrival as well as by their biological daughter. After 6 months, it appeared that cultures had blended together and there was balance to their family life.
We will most probably upgrade this site allowing room for links to sites we have found useful in our journey.

I am happy to hear you have found a group with experiences all along the way. Sometimes we just need another human being to tell us...they know...they really do because they have been there. It really does all come together, and one day the waiting is over. I made a thread for my way of telling my daughter and son-in-law's wait through the eyes of the eagles. It is the story of infertility, a full nest, and then a well cared for family. It is in my BLOG called Glo's journey to ...well I don't know yet. I hope lots of you who stop by here, will choose to go let the eagles tell you , show you their story. The thread is called "Even the eagles must wait on the Lord. Yep you will need at least 10 minutes, and Kleenex, but you will also chuckle out loud, I promise. Hope your day is good, and your wait is shorter than you currently think it will be.
