I've had a lot of people comment that we need to change the name of the blog. Seems it was a good idea we didn't since we're once again waiting for 'just one more'. At this point I can't imagine adopting again after number 4. Never say never though.
Anyways, Jia's referral picture has been up at the top for an awfully long time so I just removed it and put a question mark in to hold the gadget until we have a referral picture of our son to put up there.
I did hear about a 3 1/2 year old boy that whose file was with a US agency for three months and they didn't find a placement for him so his file was returned to the shared list. Eric and I spent a few days reading and re-reading his file and staring at his pictures and watching the videos and we researched his needs and looked at YouTube videos and talked to everyone we could with knowledge of his needs. He has three special needs, two of them were simple and not an issue for us at all, the big issue was limited mobility with the third need. The file was confusing. listing worst case diagnosis and then one paragraph later stating a mild case. So many unknowns. I was pretty keen on day one, on day two we were both feeling we needed more information on day three I was sufficiently scared but Eric wanted to proceed. We're so not on the same page sometimes. The child is beautiful and it's hard to not move forward and ask our agency to find his file. Right now we're back to just waiting to see who our agency finds for us. So different from the way we were matched with the girls.
