I did want to comment on something though! We received in our email from two different adoption sites "How to get through the holidays while you wait" etc...and Phil and I shook our head as we read it. One of the suggestions is to "stay away from pregnant woman, children and parties where either of them will be attending". Now, I could understand where they are coming from on a smaller scale...as it can trigger a bunch of emotions. I just wanted to say that sometimes there is another side of that! We actually enjoy being around our friend, children and babies and I think because Phil and I are at such a peace with our decision of adoption that, we are just another part of their love. We actually for a moment wondered, were we supposed to want to be away from them? It seemed odd but understandable! So I guess everyone just needs to follow their own heart on it and what they can and cannot handle.
Have a blessed Christmas/Holiday & New Years <3
