The 'wait' is the hardest part of adoption, but it will bring you endless joy when it does happen for you~I wish you the best of luck with your 'wait'!

I LOVE that you have a Vespa. It seems the ultimate height in coolness. Probably wouldn't work here in Vancouver. They don't callit the "Wet Coast" for nothing... ;) ICLW

Thank you so much for your comment. It makes me smile to know that someone is reading and actually listening and agreeing with things I say, and then giving me feedback on top of it. Your journey has been tough, I can't even begin to imagine, but adoption, amazing! It's the best thing my birth mother did for me. My parents are just that, my parents, They've never been anything different.It takes special people to go down the adoption road, and therefore, they get the most special babies.

Hope you get matched very soon! Summer's sounding pretty darn good to me too!

Thanks for the Intro, We are on the adoption path as well but haven't got through the home study yet. Hope your wait is short and joyful!

Not ICLW, but I wanted to acknowledge that you are in The Wait, ask you how you are doing with it, and wish you the best.

Thanks for the intro. I hope that you'll be matched soon!

I wanted a Vespa at one time - I ended up with a Suzuki Bravo and then I just lost the desire to ride on a bike.....
