Waiting

I think this author does a great job in describing the waiting process with adoption. Most people realize that the wait can be tough, but there are so many factors that they don't see. When we were waiting to adopt CJ, it was very frustrating to try to find daycare or figure out my work leave without knowing when we'd be placed. If you factor in my ridiculously Type A personality, you'll see just how tough it was at time to plan without actually being able to plan.
