Well it's been a few more days and I keep thinking over and over again about how much I can't wait to meet my daughter. I think of the first look, the first hug, the first step toward my travel to meet her. Kate and I both want to leave right now and go to Ethiopia. We are at that point where nothing seems to matter other than Asha.
I don't think you can be fully prepared on your first adoption for the aftershock of knowing who your child is and then not being able to immediately go meet them. You're in standby mode until you the the long awaited travel call. The end result is a joyful stress. You are stuck in the limbo of hurry up and wait and you don't know whether to scream for joy or for frustration. Yes I know I may sound as thought I am complaining but i'm really not. I'm just impatient! I guess I'll only know for sure if it gets any better the second time around after Kate and I bring home a sister for Asha....trust me we are already thinking about it!
Well I hope to have another picture up soon. Some others have traveled to Ethiopia recently and promised to take some pictures for us. We're hoping that they come soon!!! Thats the news for now. Until next time.
