Reality sets in
I hope you all don't start throwing rotten tomatoes at me. I'm tired of holding my breath every month thinking this will be the month that we start seeing full-month referrals again. I'm just going to plan on getting my referral in September and traveling in November. That will have been a 13 month wait. That should be long enough, right? If it's sooner, I'll be pleasantly surprised. If it's later, I guess I'll just keep on keeping on. My new mantra is "What else can I do?" Ahhhh the wait...some have said it disappears once you have your baby in your arms. I think they may be right. I can almost imagine it! I can't wait to not wait!

No rotten tomatoes here, just a huge (((hug))) because I feel the same way.
Tiff, you are a trooper! As hard as it is, you seem to have such a good attitude about the long wait you've had. Hard to imagine that one day VERY soon, this will all be just a memory! Hang in there!
We waited 14 mos because of SARS. Lets just say I was a blubbering mess!! I haven't forgotton the long tortureous wait, I just don't feel the pain and heartache like I did back then. Waiting sucks, but like you said, there's nothing you can do about it. Keep your chin up - your little one will be in your arms soon

Waiting for the SOS, Sister!!!!
I feel the same way, Tiffany! I hope it will make the wait easier to not expect a speed up each month. Hugs to you...we're in for the long haul.
I will be returning Gymboree summer clothes so I can buy from the new fall line when it arrives.
I hear ya! It really stinks that you are so close but so far. I agree you have been very patient but enough is enough. Hang in there, Jenny who wishes I could throw Great Big tomatoes at the system keeping us away from our babies right now!
I love your attitude! There is nothing you can do. It's best to enjoy life in the meantime. It 's going to happen, just not as soon as we all thought it would. Hang in there! You're going to be a wonderful mom! :-)
I know exactly what you mean, Tiffany. I have sort of "given in" this week, too. My heart just can't take the let down of hoping for a "speed up" every single month. Hang in there, friend....
[sigh] Ditto. I'm going with 13 months too. I can't put myself through another referral period of angst. Last week was tough, one of the toughest.
