Patience is a Virtue

Well it's been a while since I've posted, mainly because there isn't anything to discuss on the adoption front. We haven't "officially" started because we are waiting to get our practice up and running. This has been very frustrating, especially for Danny. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 4 years, so being at home and sometimes bored is really common for me, but for him, this has really been a struggle. It's been 4 months since we first started the paperwork to buy this clinic and we still aren't done! When we first started I guess we were a bit naive to think that this would go smoothly and quickly. Well we were wrong! It's been a very bumpy road and we still don't have a definate close date! They say early April, so hopefully they're right. The sooner we close on the business, the sooner we can start on our adoption paperchase! This whole buying a business thing is really like adopting; lots of paperwork, lots of waiting and lots of patience and prayers! Amen!

Zac, our almost 4 year old adorable son, has really kept us busy during all this waiting. I also think this time has really spoiled him. Since daddy has been home these past couple of months, he's really gotten used to having both of us here at home. If Danny leaves to go and do something he wines and waits very un-patiently till he gets home. He's never done this with Danny mainly because Danny was always working so he was used to seeing his daddy leave and then come back. I think it's cute and love that Zac has gotten so attached to his Daddy. They were close before, but I can definately see a difference in their relationship. Before, Zac was a huge momma's boy, and although he still is, he's definately turned into a daddy's boy and that's awesome.

On the adoption front, there isn't much to tell. I think we have decided on the agency World Child for our adoption. With so many to choose from and with all the varied timeframes, it was really difficult to decide on one. But, WC has been great about getting back to me with information and the people whom I've talked to have said nothing but great things, so I think our decision is final. Also, I've been really taking what The Secret teaches, and have been applying it. I really believe in visualizations, and believe this allows you to get what you want. For me, the more I visualize and think about Maia (that's what we have decided to name her) the closer I feel to her, and the closer I am to getting her. The way I see it, the more I think about her in our lives, the more proactive I become, which allows me to get to her faster! I bought the cutest dress the other day and I have it hanging on our dresser. Every time I wake up, every time I go to sleep, and every time I walk by it I think of her, and this makes me feel that much closer to her. Silly? Maybe. But it works for me.
