waiting and learning.

I am learning that to make it through the adoption process requires a mix of insane patience, a willingness to advocate loudly for your child before they are even yours, and a community of people who love you. I am working hard at number one and two, and am forever grateful for the abundance of the third.

We find ourselves still waiting on others to move our adoption process along. Things have stalled while we wait for our social worker to write up our home study report. Once we have these in hand our dossier can be translated and sent to Bulgaria (we have a 12/11 deadline that must be met) and we can start the USCIS process. I am getting very good at squeaking loudly for my girl, even when it feels like I am doing it into the ether (this is where patience comes in, so much is out of our control). But the love part, that’s all of you. And no words can do justice to how much it all means to us. Thank you a million times over!

PS: if you’re lucky enough to find yourself at Dynasty Typewriter in LA, keep an eye out for a very special theatre seat. ♡ ☾
