981 Days and counting

Filed Under Isabelle, Morgan 

Well it’s been 981 day since we started our second adoption and I must admit we or I have been through some ups and downs about continuing, but we decided to keep on going.  We are too close to give up now.  I say that knowing that at the current pace we won’t get our referral until June 2011 meaning we will have waited 1750 days or 250 weeks or 58 months or 4.8 years.  In the grand scope of things it took us 8 years to get Morgan from a failed pregnancy to IVF to adoption.  So I guess for us it just takes longer, a lot longer and it cost more.  If I had it to do all over again I wouldn’t want to change a thing.  Morgan was well worth the wait and we cherish every moment we have with her.

Look at that face.  We picked her up from her Grandparents Friday night and she said that she wanted to go some place she had never been before this weekend.  We’ve been meaning to take her to Beaufort where Becky grew up, so the next day we made a weekend trip.  As you can see from the attached pictures she had a blast this past weekend.

I’m sorry we haven’t been writing but 981 days of waiting has been emotionally draining and depressing.  Believe it or not Morgan has been the driving force for the second adoption she has it in her head that she wants a baby sister from China.  She says that she want to teach her everything she knows but she won’t change poopy diapers.  We explained to her that she had some real winners and she loves knowing that I had to deal with some of the award winning diapers.  She thinks it’s funny that I’ll have to change award winning diapers Isabelles.

Oooo favorite catch phrase “tighty whities” as well as talking about “tooting”, “burping” etc…  She’ll make some boy very happy one day.  I’m so proud.
